Fill Hoses on Washer
1990 Sears Kenmore Washer(Model#11081910100): Found a bubble starting to form in one of the rubber fill hoses that connect to the washer.
I use the new Universal Stainless Steel Water Fill Hose to replace these now. You can buy them in just 1, or a pair, Its always better to change both if you change 1.
Universal Stainless Steel Water Fill Hose
5-foot braided stainless steel fill hose for either hot or cold water inlet hose. Stainless steel can handle higher water pressure and is less likely to burst. The hose is flexible, can't crimp and is easy to install.
2 Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hoses, 6 feet long
Use these pro grade, braided stainless steel hoses to connect your washing machine to the water supply. These hoses will replace any standard black rubber washing machine hose. 4 rubber washers included.
Have a Good Weekend!
