Washing machine hose washer is a small, flat gasket, typically made of rubber or EPDM synthetic rubber, that provides a watertight seal at the connection points of the washing machine's water supply hoses. Its main purpose is to prevent leaks caused by the normal wear and tear, high water pressure, and vibrations of the machine's operation.
Key Features and Types
The washer sits inside the threaded coupling at each end of the hot and cold water inlet hoses, where they connect to both the appliance and the water supply valves on the wall.
