[Water supply hose for LG washing machine] [One-touch type] I'm curious about how to connect the water supply hose?

Troubleshooting

Do you wish to connect the water supply hose of the washing machine to a faucet? Do you wish to know how to extend the water supply hose if it is too short?

A water supply hose is a hose used to connect a washing machine to a faucet.
If you move your washing machine and install it in a new location, the water supply hose can be connectedly easily only using a Phillips screwdriver and a flat-head screwdriver.
The connection method may differ depending on the type of water supply hose and the shape of the faucet. Please check them first.
If you wish to extend the length of the water supply hose because it is short, please purchase a water supply hose suitable for the washing machine model from the LG Electronics homepage’s [care goods/consumables] section or the nearest LG Electronics service center and use it as a replacement.
