Ordered a new hose from appliance parts pros. The hose was not exactly like the original one. So I had to bend it slowly to make the hose fix into the water valve without any sideways pressure put on the connection points. The water valve connection was pointing toward the floor so I had the bend the new hose into a complete U shape. Because the hose is not any too long the U had to be made using only 5 or 6 inches of the hose. Once the U was made I scraped the two sides of the U together to hold the shape. You must be careful not to kink the hose when bending.
