A few years ago I had the rubber inlet hoses on my washer replaced with stainless steel ones. Everything has been fine since then until yesterday when I noticed the catch bin under the washer was full of water. The catch bin has a drain that prevents the water from rising more than about two inches so I don't know how long it's been leaking.
Any way I found a slow leak was coming from the cold water inlet hose. The host itself looks fine. I checked the end of the hose and there appears to be a built in washer (i.e. looks like it can't be removed). I reconnected the hose and it seemed to stop leaking until I tested the washing machine about a minute later and then it started leaking slowly again.
Save replacing the hose itself, can I fix this by just adding another washer (assuming the one in the hose doesn't come out)?
I have never seen a washer hose where the hose washer is not replaceable. Some are compressed to the point you have to dig them out though.
And the washers are the same as for a garden hose.
