I recently moved our washing maching and had to remove the inlet hoses and reconnect them. Since then the hot water hose has been leaking. I've replaced the hose, but it still leaks. Put PTFE tape around the thread, but no change. Anyone have any more ideas as to how to stop the leak? Can you overtighten these plastic connectors?

With a new hose you should only do the connections hand tight. NEVER use PTFE tape on the threads as this will make matters worse. If you have overtightened the connections and damaged the rubber washers, you can just buy new washers rather than another complete hose.
