Washer - Inlet Fill Hoses

Starting August 2010, fill hoses are no longer included with GE Appliances washers. Contract, Unitized, and Compact models are the exceptions and have fill hoses that are included. See the Installation Instructions for details on current models.

 

Locating the Inlet Fill Hoses on a Washer

  • Top Load, Front Load, Compact, and Unitized washers: Hoses attach to the back of the washer in the backsplash area. Facing the rear, the hot hooks up on the right and the cold on the left. The letters "H" and "C" are embossed in the metal above each port.
  • Older washers (pre-1994): The cold water fill hose goes on the top and the hot on the bottom as you are facing the rear of the machine.
  • Portable washers: The inlet connections are side-by-side Hot (left) and Cold (right). Hoses are normally 54" long on stationary/portable washers.

Choosing and Purchasing Washer Fill Hoses

  • Fill hoses are 4 feet long (older "T" and "V" washer model series were 42" long).
  • Longer hoses that are 8 feet in length can be purchased online through our GE Appliance Parts & Accessories website , a hardware store or home improvement store.
  • The standard 4 feet long hoses are part number WH41X10207.
  • Stainless Steel 4 feet long hoses are part number WX14X10005. For more information, including installation, please see our Washer - Stainless Steel Inlet Fill Hoses article.
  • The part number for 6 feet long Stainless Steel hoses is WX14X10011.
  • Hoses are normally 54" long on Stationary/Portable washers.
  • Hose connections are 3/4" (standard size).
  • We recommend replacing them every 5 years.

Using Check Valves

  • Check valves are not recommended. They could restrict water flow and prevent the washer from operating per designed intent. Provided the washer is installed compliant with the installation instructions, there should be no reason for needing check valves.
