Replacing washer hoses - help!?! Bosch washing machine
Hi, a quick question that is probably obvious.
ive just brought a second hand Bosch machine and the hot hose connector is poor and leaking.
it only has a rubber sleive rather than a proper connector.
2 questions:
1. if I was to buy a new hot hose how do I remove the old one (see pic)
2. If and can I change the end on the existing if q1. Is not possible (other than by a plumber)
thank you and apologies for my novice questions - appreciate any help.

Bosch washing machine hose confusion resolved as cold-fill installation issue
- The problem
- A second-hand Bosch washing machine appeared to have a leaking 'hot' hose connection. The owner believed the hot hose connector was damaged and asked how to remove or replace it.
- Likely cause
- The hose shown was identified as the drain hose, not a hot fill hose. The machine was then confirmed to be cold fill only, so the issue was misunderstanding of the hose connections rather than a failed hot inlet hose repair being documented.
- What fixed it
- Connect the machine only to a proper cold water supply using the correct threaded tap for the fill hose. Route the drain hose to a standpipe or to a suitable connection on the sink waste/u-bend. No confirmed hose replacement repair was described.
- Checks to try
- Forum replies identified the pictured hose as the drain hose
- The owner then found the machine was cold fill only
- Advice stated the fill hose should screw onto a proper threaded tap
- Advice stated the drain hose should go to a standpipe or sink waste connection

Hello Marc. The top picture looks like a drain hose, and the second picture also looks like a drain hose that it is connected to a hot water tap. Fill hoses are normally attached to a water valve out of the back of the washing machine and screwed on. The water valves on a washing machine are always on the right-hand side when looking at it from the back. The only time I've ever seen fill hoses connected directly onto pipework is in the 70s.

Hi Andy,
I feel a little silly now. Yes the 2 pics are of the same hose.
So where does the drain hose go?
I've just seen there is the word 'Hot' underneath the cold hose.
Do I just need to remove the hot plastic cover and buy a hot hose pipe?
thanks again!

Figured it out, cold fill only.
Thanks for clarification Marc. I was going to say that virtually all washing machines are cold fill only now so it should just need connecting up to a cold water supply. You need to have a proper tap with the screw thread so that the straight end of the fill hose can screw onto it. The drain hose needs to go into a stand pipe leading out to a drain or connecting to the u-bend under the sink as most are these days.
