Apologies as this is a bit of a cross post. I've had to try to isolate my washing machine hose tonight for it to be replaced tomorrow night.
When going to do this I noticed that the valve wasn't fully open/vertical. I've tried to close it and can't get it fully horizontal. Had a bit of a Google search and seen comments similar saying that it indicated the valve was faulty and when re-opening it started to leak.
Looking at the 1st picture below it looks like it might already have been taped up from a previous leak?
My question is, should it start to leak tomorrow night when re-opening, what are the options? Can it generally be fixed (even in the short term to get me through to next week)? And if not, how difficult are they to replace?
