This was a ROTTEN design from the beginning! One is compelled to buy replacement hoses at
$90+ and THAT is a rip! What's more is these hoses are
DESIGNED to self-destruct because they are made so poorly.

My girlfriend (of many years ago) asked IF I could connect a 'standard hose' instead and
I DID!
Look at page 5-6. I replaced Part #F256 with a "standard" washer water solenoid! That part was about $10 at the time...
Actually I just found a used one for $3.95 on eBay including shipping, but I recommend a NEW one!
"washer/dryer Water Inlet Valve for Samsung DC62-30314K"
eBay: 381654134550 About $18.50 shipped!
(*careful as you shop ~ watch SHIPPING charges)
You could try a 'independent' washer repair shop and perhaps save money and time there? None found at LOWES or H.D.
Just watch the OUTPUT size to avoid adapters!

I add that my girlfriend
was more than willing to connect the hose to the kitchen faucet manually each time... But she
never needed a "
aquastop" again and I think she got up to hose #4 and she was ready to push the washer to the curb! Boooo.
