Make sure you loop the washing machine drain hose up, from where it attaches to the waste, to prevent backflow from the sinks(s) running into the washing machine.

Hi, I have just plumbed all of the Cold Water for my house. I have put in a new 15mm stop cock, pressure reducing valve, drain cock and then 15mm copper pipe with soldered joints to my Kitchen and then to my bathroom. I have done it ALL in 15mm, including up to the Bath taps etc. The reason...

Hi all, My first post here so go easy ;) I am trying to install a dishwasher approximately 3 meters (line of sight) away from the sink which means i need to run a Cold water feed and Drain hose over a distance. The cold water feed isn't a problem and is already sorted, it's the drain i'm...

The original spigot on the Trap should be tapered to take the inside of the hose , I am guessing that the last time a washing machine was fitted someone may have cut part of the taper off or it was too long , the hot water trick should work, or cut back the hose. Make sure the waste pipe is...

So i wouldn't need the loop on the back of the machine as well? I was going to extend the hose and run it under the kitchen units i.e. along the floor, then up the back of the sink unit and onto the drain spigot.

Hello I wonder if anyone could advise on a query for me. I am looking at installing a dishwasher, however it is not next to the sink. I was intending on purchasing a drain hose extension and have measured the route the hose could take under the kitchen units then over the hardboard back of...

the easier way: the flexible waste hose for the washer must loop up, and the top of the loop must be higher than the water level in the sink when it is full. If you attach the loop to the underside of the worktop, that will probably do. Use a couple of cuphooks and a piece of string. or you...

The waste hose from your washer, I am guessing attaches to the waste from the kitchen sink. The hose must be looped up so that the top of the loop is higher than the water level in the sink when it is full, otherwise the sink will drain into the machine, as in your case. Attach it to the...

does the waste hose from the washing machine connect to the sink trap? If so, does it rise in a loop, where the highest point is higher than the max water level in the sink? If not, dirty sink water (and bacon fat, tealeaves and cods heads) can run down the hose into the washer.

It is a whirlpool and is a semi commercial one. Should have said it is in a commercial situation. Was trying to find out if I would get away without the trap by sealing the pipe into the blank or bite the bullet and dig up the floor to install the 110 P Trap

What make is the washing machine? Never seen a gravity drain washing machine before. All washing machine drain hose has to goes up to just below the top of machine then loop over to into stand pipe or connect to sink trap with nozzle. This is the normal standard. Daniel.

If turning the valve off stops the taste, yes, get a new hose. They are usually blue. You can get an extra-long one which makes it easier to move the machine. There are some white ones made for drinking water that are used for water softeners. Don't lose the rubber washers in the connectors...

I think I can see what you mean, the actual trap leads to the washing machine and not the waste, right? Does it just need turning round the other way?

The washing machine drain hose need to go up to bottom of sink / worktop and loop over before connect to sink trap. That will stop water from sink going in machine hose. Did anyone noticed the trap.....? That sink trap is fitted wrong way. Washing machine hose is connected to outlet of a...

The loop-in waste lines from your appliances should leave the appliance connection, and quickly rise to be fixed below the work top, and then be fed through to the sink cabinet, where they will drop and pick up the trap hose connectors. Your loop-in lines are drooping, and coming up from low...

look at the waste hose where it connects to the sink trap. It must loop up so the top of the loop is higher than the water level in the sink when it is full. This can be done by clipping or tying the hose to the underside of the worktop, or by leading the hose through a hole right at the top...

I've just got a new washing machine and it states that the drain hose should be routed a minimum of 40cm off floor level. My standpipe is directly behind the machine (offset to the left). The drain hose exits the machine at the top back right of the machine, so with it looped downwards and back...

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere. I searched but couln't find anything bang on point. So my old dishwasher eventually gave up the ghost and has been removed. The waste hose simply exited through a hole in the external wall at ground level and then dropped down about a foot into the...

yep, you need to read the instruction book. I don't understand why the makers badge says "Siemens" but you say it is a Fujitsu. the waste hose is too low, it needs to be looped up so that the top of the loop is right up against the top of the work surface. If it is lower that the water...

Aha The washing machine and its hose may have a sludge of decomposing soap and fabsoft. Has the washer had a maintenance wash recently? If not give it a HOT HOT HOT cotton wash with no powder and no fabsoft. Put some old white towels in if you have them, but no synthetics. If it foams...
