    i don't understand why those shut-off valves never work when you need them - so, what good are they?

    When you replace valves always try to get the ball valve type the cost a few more bucks but are worth it,valves need to be cycled a few times a year especially your main shutoff that way it will work when needed,washer hoses should be replaced before they burst I personally like the braided ss ones they last longer :2c::2c::2c::2c::2c:

    Pfff.
    I guess some people (glare) go around and cycle all valves once per year. Me? Nope.
    He's right, but ....

    As far as hoses...yeah, but I was betting the washer would fail before the hose...and it's time for a new washer anyway (once $$$ are available). I would have replaced the hoses then. At least I won't need to get a hose-kit with a new washer now.

    P.S. It was a ball-valve.
    New one (brass) was over 14.00.
