My old washer has a hose extension on it. I bought a new washer and I am trying to get the hose extension on it. Will warming up the hose make it easier to get on and will the hose return to it's original size?

Don't know. Have you tried dish washing soap or hand cleaner to make things slicker?
Nope. I will give that a try. Thanks
Heating it in hot water or with a hair dryer should help.
What's a hose extension? Is this a clothes washer, a dish washer, or a dog washer? Doesn't it take a standard garden hose connector?
Oh, you're talking about the output hose, a metal thing that hooks over the sink, right?
Yep That hose
When I put a repair end on a garden hose, if its tough to push into the hose, I stuck the end in boiling water for a few seconds. If you have a pan of water large enough, try to use that on your hose. Or maybe just pour boiling water over the connection. It's never hurt a garden hose. I dont think it will hurt that hose either, but I am not 100% sure. Heat softens the hose....
