Stay safe Cheryl and Kevin&#33;&#33;  <br /><br />Falina...well I think depression cured&#33;&#33;  <br /><br />Well the story is we did not pay for installation this time around with Best Buy.  But they usually do try to hook it up for you.  Yes, new washer came with new hoses.  Warranty won&#39;t be good unless I hook it up with new hoses.  In order to put on the new hose I have to unscrew the old one&#39;s from the faucets or valves that are connected to the plumbing.  I got the one off to the hot water but not the cold.  It had been leaking slightly anyway so we must get it off to put on the new one.  Hopefully within three hours I will know from a plumber neighbor what we need to do next.   I&#39;ve been applying 3-in-1 oil on it every few hours.  Totally frustrating... Weird thing is my right thumb has been numb since I started trying.  Hopefully it will fix itself..dunno what I did to cause that.  <br /><br />Oh and I have had again login problems so this may continue to be an issue for people.  My recipe has failed me....but at least having one password should help.
