Hello: washing machine fills and operates fine on Cold. No water coming in on Hot side. Up to now, I removed the hot side hose from the washer, and use it to manually fill the tub with hot water.
Am preparing to replace the valve. Was surprised to see the hard bend in the outlet hose when it exits the valve. See pictures. What is the best way to remove that outlet hose? Try to slide the clamp away from the valve and down the hose? I am concerned about the outlet line leaking. I thought I saw a crack, but seems to be a mold mark that runs the length of the hose.
Is it helpful to remove the sheet metal colored panel to get some more working room?
It appears the outlet line is part of an assembly that directs water into the tub. Am trying to avoid leaks when I install hose on new valve. Could I use a metal screw-type clamp, instead of the spring type?
Any tips from those who have performed this job are appreciated. Thank You
