You might think I'm tellin' you a tall tale, but I swear my washing machine's hoses are original. 39 years old. One of them will no longer stay connected to the water supply, so I took that as a sign. I'll be buyin' 2 new hoses tomorrow! Thanks for the vid, you were most helpful!!
thank you. My bolts are pure rust and the new machine is coming in a few days. I'm screwed. Soaking with white vinegar and using steel brush. nothing. These hoses/connectors are 15 years old. I'm very upset. At least you showed me what type of pliers to use. Linda
EVERYTHING. I called a plumber after my daughter took the advice of a plumber and began cutting in to the rusted bolt with a very old reciprocating saw and caused a leak. @@thepiratehandyman2225
Oh, no! That be a problem, lass. I'm afraid you will need to get a professional. It happens, unfortunately. Before you hire somebody, ask them about their experience with this type of problem.
@@thepiratehandyman2225 am in same situation new washing machine from Home depot.. he took old away brought new one in after a dose of wd40 thru my persistance he did get hot off.. tried the cold.. no way.. said he gets fired if he breaks my main line.. didnt install washer because they wont use old hoses on a new machine.. He disconnected frozen hose from washing machine side and took the old machine away. Told me call a plumber at 175 an hour.. GRRRRRR . Well I have 48 hours to make sure new washing machine works before it turns into warranty issue . i hooked old hose to machine and new hose as well and new drain line (grr the one supplied was too short had to make trip back to home depot to get 8 foot corrugated drain hose) Machine works.. While at home depot bought PB BLASTER penetrating fluid.. better that just wd40 lubricant. I hope.. Been spraying it and will be soaking till its gone.. Not sure what will happen. The connection from spigot has been on there as long as washer is old, from other owner of my place.. 15 years.. I am so used to turning spigot off after washing is done.. I will keep doing it even with bran new hoses.. you never know, it is a good habit especially with city water pressure. being at work 10 hours a day. cant imagine coming home to a broken hose or a freak broken spigot. Washer is on first floor. Thanks for video. if anybody can learn from my mistake or success. Trying to help.. either replace hose every 5 years.. shut spigot off after doing washing and if you dont want to replace hose at least shut water off spigot and crack the connection to get corrosion loosened.
Aye, matey, this could be tricky. If you are dealing with damaged threads on a bare pipe, you need to determine if that piece screws into a coupler, or if it's soldered (sweated) into a coupling. If it screws in, then you should be able to replace that short piece by unscrewing it from the coupling and replacing it. If it's soldered into the coupling then I'm afraid you will need to call a plumber,

Aye, matey, that be some kind of record! Glad you got them replaced before the sea water got into the ship. Happ to hear this helped - smooth sailin'!
Great video! Should the water valve be turned back on wide open or not quite wide open? Thanks.
Aye, lass, unless the water pressure it to high fer yer liking, there's no reason not to turn it on full - smooth sailin'!
Very detailed thank you
Aye, matey, I hope it helped - smooth sailin'!
Awesome Video 👏👏👏👍
Why would they make those crappy cheap Nylon outlets, I have a GE too, they are threaded horribly...
Thank ye for the kind words, matey. I agree. I think it has something to do with corrosion, but it sure makes it easy to cross-thread.
Great video!
Thank ye, matey!
Great vid!

Aye, lass, that can be a problem. Have you tried a product like CLR or even WD40?

Thank you for your time!
Ye be most welcome, lass! Thank YOU for watching!
I can't find the video that you mentioned of replacing leaking faucet where you connect the hose. I wish you would have linked it.

How to replace the female part of the conection I damaged the cold water line

YUCK!!! Someone hasn't been cleaning their laundry nook
Aye, lol!
