How can I fix my leaky washing machine hose?

is your hose made of something resembling a bicycle tire? black and rubbery? let the hose dry thoroughly patch with rubber cement and a tire patch. put the rubber cement on the hose and on the patch. let it dry a bit ie get a bit tacky then put patch to hose. if you want extra security put a hose clamp over it. ps if the tire patch comes with it's own glue use that.

if it isn't replacing the little black gasket that is located inside the female parthere it is attached to the water source...replace the darn thing...you could potentially have hundreds of dollars of damage if it leaks when you are not home. for a $20 part?

Replace it! That hose is under constant pressure and it can go at any time, ending up doing untold damage to your home. It's and easy fix and a lot cheaper than the consequences!

Wrote this yesterday, but couldn't get it to post.

Replace it with a new hose from your local hardware store. You don't want to come home one day to a lake in the room where that has happened. I prefer to replace the hot water hose line with every new washer that I have purchased after this happened to me. If it occurring where a rubber seal can be inserted then do so; however, if it is at a joint or the line itself, replace. You might do an emergency only fix with plumbers tape, but plan on replacing asap. No point in damaging walls, floors, carpeting, furniture in a "penny wise, pound foolish " [aka Ben Franklin, I think] manner.

Replace it with metal hoses. I have gone thru a burst hose leading to a massively flooded home - the hose was less than 3 years old and there was no warning. It's not worth the $20 cost for a pair of the metal ones. It's certainly cheaper than an insurance deductible.

I was going to suggest duct tape! But if it is really bad, go with one of the above ideas. Let us know what you have done! Good LUCK!! 🙂

Replace it, as others have suggested, a relatively inexpensive fix. My washer and dryer are in the garage, and until recently, was not insulated. I had to replace the hose on a regular basis due to weather changes.

I agree 100% with the people that said " BUY A NEW HOSE " Your small leak can cause BIG problems that will cost you a LOT more that a hose.
