Hi Guys,
I have and issue and wondered if I can call on your expertise for some advice and suggestions how to rectify.
In my mums kitchen she has her washing machine and slimline dishwasher connected to the sink waste pipe with a double adapter unit U bend unit.
About 6 weeks ago she noticed that when the washing machine empties there is a foul smell in the kitchen. It has done this everytime she uses the washing machine since.
I disconnected the washing machine & dishwasher waste pipes from the adapter, removed the U bend and cleaned them all thoroughtly. There was some gunk but it wasn't blocked or restricted.
I refitted everything and checked it was watertight.
Unfortunately it didn't help as the foul smell still appears when the washing machine empties. There is no smell when the dishwasher is being used or when the sink is being used.
Any advice or suggestions please?
Thanks,
Mark.
