A:AnswerIf its been in place for a number of years then cheap insurance is to trash the hoses and install new. Or, flip a coin and hope for the best! There are no 'o-rings', just regular hose (like garden hose) washers at each end that connects to your water source and at the machine end.
A:AnswerBuy a Y connector and hose which will allow you to hook the hose to the dryer and washer at the same time. I bought the Smart Choice - Steam Dryer Installation Kit - Stainless steel
A:AnswerI think because they want to make sure that all features are available. In my case, the installation kit could not be installed and I received a full refund for the part (I did need to return it at the store).
A:AnswerThe newer LG models use a fill hose instead of a reservoir. If you go to the Specifications under the product page, you should see a category called Water Source. The older models will say reservoir. The newer models will say fill hose. If it says fill hose, then you will need the steam dryer installation kit that has both the Y-shaped mixer hose and the fill hose for the steam dryer.
