Strange, the flex (braided) line that goes to my dishwasher leaked last night at the connection to the under sink plumbing. Do they ever work loose? It was not a hose failure, but the connection at the plumbing pipe worked loose. took like 2 turns to tighten it fully – maybe the rubber cone washer in it compressed??? Anyone had this experience?

I have had that experience. I suspect that the rubber cone compresses over time, and tightening it recompresses it.
