Hi there everyone. I have a friend who has a little Haier dishwasher. Y'all were very helpful before coming up with a service manual so I could get the machine repaired and back into service.
When I was inside, I noticed that the reason he has such trouble rolling it along the floor is because the brackets that support the wheels are bent and deformed. Our solution was to take the wheels off and set it permanently in one spot. Now I have a problem, because the hoses don't reach.
I extended the drainhose with a short piece of PVC as a coupler, and a chunk of hose from Home Depot. I'm going to clamp it together to make sure its tight - so far, its been okay.
The problem is that I can't find a fill hose long enough to reach the machine in the new location. The machine uses a standard clothes washer type hose - female on both ends with a fitting that screws into the sink end, and connects to a quick-release on the faucet.
I can find 6 foot hoses all over, but no 12 or 10 foot hoses. I understand not wanting to use a long hose under pressure, but the hose wouldn't be on constantly, just under pressure for an hour or so every few days. This can't be a situation that never comes up. Someone out there has to make one!
A 12 to 15 foot, steel-braided hose would be best. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
