How to connect washing machine water inlet hose?

[Zamish]

Hi there!

we just bought new Bosch washing machine. Now when we try to install the water inlet hose it is not closing properly. I have tried the hose with garden tap and it just worked like a charm but not with the laundry tap. I am not sure what is the issue?  The size of the tap may be is the problem? If so how to figure out that? The tap is facing upwards; can it be the reason? 
Thanks in advance

Hello @Zamish 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your washing machine hose.

I suspect that it is the position of the tap that is giving you a hard time in screwing the hose to the outlet. I suggest lifting the hose up and lining it up as straight as possible before you screw it to the tap. It will take a fair amount of effort, but you should be able to attach it securely.
