“Water supply hoses In the manual it states that the water supply hoses are supplied and to only use the supplied hoses. Anyone know the length of these hoses and why must you only use the ones supplied? I believe the ones supplied are also a rubber hose and not the stainless braided hose sold in store. Also when purchasing the machine you're told that you must buy hoses from them or the machine will not be connected by installers. Thoughts on this”

Hi Mine are stacked and not right next to the supply and they work perfectly. I had 10 year old LG's and those hoses worked until the units were replaced. Also, having a water softener helps if you have hard water. The hoses appear to be a meter long, or just over 3 feet. I also prefer the stainless hoses throughout my house. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had to purchase the steel ones. Rubber is not used anymore.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The recommendation to only use the supplied hoses for the LG - 5.2 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Mega Capacity High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer - Graphite Steel, Model # WM8000HVA is mainly for warranty purposes. The supplied hoses have been tested to make sure that they fit properly and will not leak and that they can withstand the recommended pressure for the water supply line. It is also recommended that these hoses should be replaced every 5 years. LG is not responsible for product malfunction or accidents caused by the use of separately purchased unauthorized parts...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When they state "supplied hoses" they mean the ones sold in store, the stainless braided and rubber are both available. Installers will not connect them without new hoses for liability issues, if your old hoses burst and they installed, it could be put on them. It also protects your machine and home (if they burst and you got flooding). If you already have stainless hoses, let them know and ask.
