- www.AlohaPlumbi... Today I show you how to disconnect washer hose connections that are siezed to the facet. This video is for demostration purposes and it is recommended you call a professional plumber. M40634 We are located in Round Rock Texas .
You saved my life with this. I am a 55 year old woman with no plumbing or handy person experience. I was scheduled to have a washer and dryer delivered. The delivery oerson came in and 2 minutes lster told me that "I" had to disconnect the hoses because it was stuck on and he didn't want to do it. I would have to remove it and reschedule the delivery. I was so upset. I had no idea where to start. After sometime of trying, I went to youTube and found you and this video. You made it so simple to follow. Voila, it worked. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Mari Parks boy that makes me happy to hear. You are so welcome
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATXI still can't get it off and someone is coming to get it right now.
@@youneverknewme2466 can you take the hose off the machine? If so disconnect from the machine and zip tie it near the drain.
Wow that’s awesome. I am gonna tell my friends I saved a marriage tonight. They gonna look at me like I am crazy. So happy you got that taken care of
This tip, which I've never seen ANYWHERE else, really saved me tonight!
It's nearly 3am and now I can finally go to bed.
Seriously, this video saved me!
THANK YOU!
Washing machine hot water hose had been on probably 15 years. Your video was the only one that described splitting the hose connector in order to remove. You can imagine mine after that many years was completely seized. Worked for me....thank you sir. I added some auto anti seize lubricant on the treads before installing new hoses Tks again.
Glad to help those hoses can be pesky.
This just saved me a service call from a plumber. Took me less than 10 minutes. (I was trying to be cautious about the threading). You rock!
That’s exactly why I put that video on here. Glad you could use it.
Thank you Charles! You described my situation pretty much to a tee. I couldn't get my hot water line off upon moving into my new (old) home and I really felt great when following your directions worked! It allowed me to use my brand new water lines and take off the nasty, rusted-out water lines. You rock!
Glad to Help
Follow up: I had this same problem with my hot washer hose. I purchased a tiny close quarters hacksaw at Home Depot and cut slowly into the side of the hose like you. I also purchased a small can of "PB Blaster" lubricating fluid. Once I could barely see the threads of the spigot, I squirted the lube into the cut. It was like a miracle and seemed to dissolve the calcium on the threads instantly. The hose broke free like butter. Thank you for the idea.
Awesome pb blaster is awesome. Happy it worked for you
Went out to the garage, grab my hacksaw and was done in minutes. Thanks for the tip!
Happy to be of assistance.
As a long time handyman, thanks for the great tip! Sometimes it's not so obvious what to do!
You are welcome. Glad to be of service.
Great tip! Saved me $$$$ from hiring a plumber. I watched the video, cut the connector and off it came! Thank you!
Hayden Baldwin glad we could help
Worked like a charm. This is one of the best DYI videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. Thank you Sir!!!
Thanks glad we could help.
I hated to cut the hose connection - but it worked. I then sent the bill for the new hoses to the guy that "helped" me move the washer. Thank you Charles Shurbet and Aloha Plumbing.
Your Welcome
Your video saved the day from me having to call a plumber!!!!! Thank you so much!!❤
Mission accomplished
Thank you as a single mother and a first time renter, I needed this info. Thank you
Happy to help
Great video! After our washer installers failed to complete the job my wife and I took care of buisness with help from your video.
Very nice. Glad it helped
My delivery guys refused to even try. Against policy 🤷🏼♀️which I understand. I don’t have a saw like this. I have a jigsaw 🤔. But I’m not good with it. I spent $16@ ace for this spray that hadn’t worked so far. Thank you for the video & tips!!
After 2 hours of trying to clean off the gunk, I took a blade to it and popped it off in 10 mins. Can confirm this does work
Good to hear. Happy to help
I was liberally spraying WD40 and praying when mine was seized.
This worked great, thank you so much.
Awesome glad that worked for you.
Excellent video and to the point. The hacksaw worked great! Almost gave up, but didn't!
Nice job.
Worked great. Had to cut in two places, use chisel/screwdrive to spread it and then pliers to finish it off.
Thank you so very much ! You made the video where one could see up close. What a life saver!!
Happy to help
You can also heat the connection slightly with a propane torch, or grill lighter, this will expand the metal and soften any debris inside the connection, will loosen right up.
Yes that’s true heat can loose it. These days with thin plastics. I am not making a video of that. Have everyone mad at me for burning the house down.
Thanks so much for this video! After buying my 3rd washing machine in the 7+ years of living in my current home, I figured I shouldn’t avoid taking the old hoses off any longer even though they were seized on.
After buying a more appropriate hacksaw it didn’t take too long to remove both hoses. I started with the hot water hose and unfortunately I did lightly cut the hot water thread. I’m hoping some teflon tape will help prevent leaks when I put the new hoses on. I was more cautious with the cold water hose and thankfully didn’t nick those threads.
If its not deep the seal is on the front flat surface where the hose gasket seats. If that isnt severally damaged likely it will be ok.
I was afraid i would ruin the threads while cutting, but after a little effort it worked!
Many Thanks!
Great job! Your welcome
This is also my fear. Any tips for someone with very little experience?
Thank you so much for your detailed and easy to understand video. Now it's off to Home Depot for a small hacksaw.
You are welcome glad to assist
I accomplished the same thing about three years ago using a Dremel tool to do the cutting. I did nick the pipe threads to a minuscule degree, but not enough to do any substantial damage. And it’s the rubber gasket, not the pipe threads that forms the seal.
FYI: Washing machine deliverers and installers, because of the liability issue, will not attempt to remove a hose connection that has been “seized on.” You have to work it out yourself. Using the hacksaw is a good way to remove it; the Dremel tool is even better.
Very well put. This scenario plays out too frequently “installers” is a loose term don’t have good training and they are not given authority to make any kind of repair of this sort. I love my dremel tools. I have some similar ones made by Milwaukee cordless models. They can make the job a lot quicker and easier. I would say just be careful to anyone not accustomed to using one that speed can equate to more damage than you were expecting than a hand driven hack saw. Scott thank you for your input.
Thanks 4 the video. I was able to get my washer undone without waiting for my husband.
Awesome
You should have more views. The LAST thing I think about is a 2' hose behind my washer seizing. You are the only one who describes exactly how far to cut into the end when lubricants and a wrench simply don't work. Thank you for not whipping out an angle grinder or a blow torch because I hate buying more tools. 😂
Just happy to help
Thank you for this video !!!!!!!!!!! The only one I found and such a "simple" fix you rock!
Thank you me and my sister wanted to do it for dad and we got it
You are good daughters. Glad it helped
mine was stuck on there BAD...so bad that once I made the cut with the hacksaw, I had to put some vicegrips on it and twist it off like I was peeling an orange...worked great, thanks!
This saved my life. Thank you so much!!
Happy to help
I want Charles in charge of me. Great video.
Thank you glad to be of service
Best video for this problem always the hot water hose. thanks
Worked like a champ
Sherwin Wilson glad to hear and happy to help
Brother you are a stud! thank you so much, worked perfectly.
Timothy White if we could just convince my wife of that? Lol glad this helped you out
Thank you! Just moved into new house and could not get that off. Bought a $3 mini hacksaw and got to it. Took me maybe 30 mins bc I didn’t have much space to work with but I got it off!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I never knew this video would help so many people I am glad It has. You are very welcome!
You just saved me money, thanks.
Glad to help
Thank you much. Very helpful and easy instructions to follow!
Glad to be of service
This just saved my marriage
Thank you for this video! It helped me in a nearly-identical situation. Though initially even after making the cuts, the hose still wouldn't budge. However, I sprayed WD40 on the new open cuts and let it sit overnight, and they came off easy the next morning.
I am having the same problem. it is as if the whole thing is skin to flesh..mine is rusted over 20 years..
Chelvan Mei that might be the case if its badly rusted. I would still try to cut through the hose nut before replacing the valves.
U rock sir! 🤙 Appreciate the tip! It worked just as u described.
Thats what we are here for
This is a great video. This is what I would try in next ten minutes. Thank you for posting this great tip.
Thanks Charles, that hacksaw trick worked great!
Thank you!
Great Video!
cbr600325i thank you
Thanks for the trick, it worked.
I did it!!! Thank you and OHANA!!
Thanks for posting. I had the same idea but wanted to see if there was any other way. I used a Dremel instead of a hack saw though. Once I got a little split, it came right off.
A dremel or side cutting tool is a much faster way. It’s just a little easier to cut too much. If you choose to to use one just take your time. Good for you got it done.
Thanks for this!
God bless you man! 😊
Thank you thank you thank you
This video was my first youtube video. I made it as a test. Its funny how it has helped so many people. I am so glad i did.
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX it really did...I wasn't sure how I was going to get that off and you showed me the way lol
...thanks, great idea I never would have thought of it on my own. Came right off. I hope I didn't break the valve. By the way do you have a video for valve replacement?
I am glad it helped. I will make a video at my next service call for bib replacement. If you send me a picture of what you have i can explain the process for your project
Worked like a charm. Thanks much.
Robert Betts you are welcome
Thank you for this video it worked like a charm.
Awesome glad to hear it helped
Success!! Thanks for sharing.
Mario Colosi awesome glad to be of service
This is helpful
Those stinking hoses. Glad you got em
Thank you! When res life at college installed the washer they switched the hot and cold line 🥲😭
Happy to help
Great video. Damnit, I cut the threads a little bit😡. Probably have to replace the valve now. It was old anyways. Awesome though!!!
If you did not cut the face where the gasket seats in the hose it will be fine dont worry if its just the threads
@@BlueMonster-co7ib I just found that out. I didn’t get the face. Added some plumbers tape and lubricant. It didn’t leak. Preciate it.👍🏾
@@motrejaeci awesome good job. And you didn’t have to replace the valve
Thank you.
Welcome
Very awesome video! Thank you!
Happy to help
Thanks for the video! Luckily was able to wrench off the water lines without the saw. Any advice on how to keep the knobs ( shut off) from freezing?
Not 100% sure what you are asking. How to keep knobs from freezing? Can you describe some more detail plz?
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX the water shut off valves were hard to turn off. They aren’t used frequently so they were almost frozen in place from hard water.
@@user-lt1rq6nt7w here is a tip never turn the valves to 100% open. When you get to the point of 100% and you feel the valve won’t turn any further turn the handle back clockwise half a turn. This will prevent the valve from scaling open and becoming impossible to turn in the future
This video was great help, thank you sir your advice helped!
Glad we could help. Thank you for the response!
Thanks, a big help!
Your welcome glad it helped
+Jennifer Jeffery You helped someone in Melbourne Australia. Happy New Year!
Hello Superior Service! Nice hair!
If it is seized, just use a Dremel tool with a grinder attachment
Eric Bock that’s a great tool but in the hands of a amateur that could be disastrous.
Thank you Rich for comment glad I could help.
I could’ve figured that out. I was wondering how to get it unscrewed, not cut off lol
This is when it’s seized on and won’t unscrew. If you don’t know how to unscrew a hose I don’t think UA-cam can help you
Thank you!
Happy to be of service
Thanks it's only thing worked no problem .
Glad we could help
Thank you kind Sir!
Thanks man
Glad we could help
Thanks so much!
Your welcome
Do you have to turn off your water? I don't have dials I have nozzles that you slide.
You sir, are awesome!!!
Thank you! I am glad to help!
Thanks for the video....are you suppose to turn those two nozzles to off before removing the two hoses?
OTC Hi thanks for the response. In the video as you can see the hose are not connected to anything so if the valves were open water would be coming spraying/pouring out. out so yes turning the valves off wold be a good idea.
Charles Shurbet Thanks for the response...just making sure because we have to remove our washer and get a new one in...it died the other day after 10 years...LOL
OTC they really arent making things to last anymore are they
For me, it's actually the cold water line that's giving me problems. I am putting a death grip on the serrated ring with pliers (also toothy) and all that's happening is the pliers keep slipping.Heh... quite honestly I'm not sure I trust myself with a hacksaw to try and split the ring a little bit LOL!
I understand the fear but if you are careful you may be able to do this.
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX Thanks. :) I did manage to get my washer and drier moved so, no problems. Whoever moves into the old apartment now has a hot water line already on the valve. LOL!
I just want to move my washer and dryer out so I can paint behind it. Do I have to disconnect everything and do what you just did? Good video btw, nice detail.
i hope not. This is in the case that the hose will not come off the Shut off valve or bib. I can not see your set up but typically you shut off the valves disconnect the hoses and the drain hose and move your washer out.
Thank you
Glad to help
This worked great. I accidentally got the hot water valve a little with the hacksaw…is that bad? I was thinking some tape might help but not sure.
Update: I think it’s okay, the seal is perfectly intact
Good to hear. Its usually ok if the valve takes a little damage as long as the gasket can still make contact and cove it
Thanks you god bless
Glad we could help
My washer was unplugged today and they turnt my water off and I just turnt back on and the drain system making noises what to do now how to get it to stop making noises but the washer is no longer there
Did they leave the hose connected and put it down the drain
Charles Shurbet no thru just took everything apart there is no washer machine here anymore
Charles Shurbet *they
I dont know what is making noise is one of the valves leaking water
Charles Shurbet no
Have beautiful nw washer
Ruined clothes cause hot and cold water were reversed and just did a load of colors in scorching hot water
I wanna switch them
Swap the hoses at the valves it’s the easiest. The machine has plastic threads more likely to cross thread. It’s not uncommon for the hot and cold to be reversed. If the machine was hooked up correctly at least it’s a relatively easy fix. Good luck
Was able to take both hoses off is the hot water suppose to still be leaking?
Kenyetta Burton do you mean water is coming out of the hose or leaking at the connection
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX you know that area where you turn the water on and off. Like right under the handles
Kenyetta Burton try tightening the packing nut just a little when they are on. Its the nut right where the stem and the valve come together. Its under the handle dont get crazy tightening that up
I can’t get mine off, the hoses were still on from the other ppl that lived here; can’t remove them; also rusted
The video here is exactly what you will need to follow. Don’t be scared the worst thing that can happen is you cut too much and end up having to call someone to replace the bib. But that’s extremely rare.
I have no hoses and it is still very tight. What is the name of the hose disconnector gripper rubber tool?
What if you already attempted to loosen on the inner ring? Cutting it is the only option now?
Allen Bradford yes just be sure to follow the video and not damage your valve
Perfect! Thanks!
I tried this and I finally got the washer hose off but I did cut a little into the ring. I put the new hose and it looks OK so far but should I replace the whole thing now? thanks
If it was just a little and its not leaking you are probably ok
If you want to send me a picture alohaplumbingatx@gmail.com
Thank you!!!
Hey. What if your currently trying to disconnect ur washer nd install a new one and your water is off but there's still still a lot of water coming out?
I have the same problem
should i put anti seize around the new hose connector?
You could put waterproof grease
Any update for 2023?
What kind of update are you looking for?
Help please! I did what you showed on this video but I ended up cutting or leaving a line in one of the threads and when connected the new hose for the cold water for the washing machine, water splashes. What should I do?
Hi i am not sure what water splashes means
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX water leaks from the water line.
Would that teflon tape or white tape could fix it?
l.a.r.t 4ever if you cut in too deep or the front of the valve you will have to replace the valve
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX Oh man... The cut on the thread is not that deep but I will try teflon tape otherwise I will have to change the valve even though we bought this house 3 weeks ago and the previous washer and dryer were a pain to take them out because the connections were so hard and rusty. But anyways, I really appreciate the information.
Thank you!
It is blur at the most important time where u hammer it to release..
Hi sorry about that. Its just a matter of making a slit in the metal like the line i draw.then use the flat head screw driver to gently spread the metal. U sing a hammer to help spread the brass just be careful how hard you hit it but it should make it split.
thanks
I pay house in saudi arabia and it completely made from usa even the material and same box for water supply i try to remove that hose but the extension metal broken with the hose so its big problem i dont now how to solve it and i dont now way the make it like that it not open since they built that house i think that man how fix it he tell its for ever no one will change it
Sorry you having trouble. Send some pics i will try to advise
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX how can i send for you in youtube did you have snap chat or instagram or face book there is two solution one special tools it will make thread it will open it already i purchase it from china or 30 socket that what i will try for
I have Instagram instagram.com/alohaplumbingatx?r=nametag
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX already i added you and i send privet massage
Hi, I'm trying to turn both water supply valves by hand and they're not budging, it's almost like they're locked. Please advise, this is them: www.dropbox.com/s/e3wjf5zvvznus27/WontBudge.JPG
Try to turn the handle gently with a pair of adjustable pliers. You may want to back up or hold the valve while you turn the handle
OK, thanks, but before I do, I see each one has a nut at the base (I circled one in the following image). Could they be locking the valves and require loosening instead?
Whoops, the image: www.dropbox.com/s/qq5rpwgbkdpm6tp/WontBudge2.jpg
Not unless you tightened them to begin with. Generally your issue is caused by over opening the valve turning them open until they stop. This can be prevented by opening the valves until it stops and then turning them about 10 deg closed. Thats like from the 12 - 1:00 position on a clock
J Mon try turning them just a little counter clockwise like from the 12:00 to the 9:00 position and then turn the handles with a pair of adjustable pliers.
What if u don’t got a hacksaw
Angel Ortega you need something to cut the ring with and though I have you really don’t want to use anything electric. If you use a cut off tool of some kind go very slow you can always cut a little more
Charles Shurbet like a kitchen knife? That’s rlly all I have because the pipe is super old and rusted it’s really really stuck
Angel Ortega my kitchen knife won’t cut metal. I would not suggest using that
@@CharlesShurbetAlohaPlumbingATX what about tin snips
What next if u dont have a hacksaw? Lol
If it’s rusted and someone has tried to remove the hose. You will likely have to go this route if not try spraying wd40 and let it sit.
