Drain hose from Washing machine needs to loop up to touch the underside of the worktop before dropping down to the drain point, you'll need to slacken the Union slightly and turn the spigot round to point upwards. Currently if a full sink of water is being discharged, there is the possibility...

It should loop up to the height of the underside of the worktop. Fix it with a bit of string or a cable tie. A cup hook is useful. Or you can make a hole in the side of the unit facing the machine, right at the top, to feed the hose through. When the top of the hose is above the level of...

You are one of life's diamonds Sir. Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply. It's much appreciated . kind regards and thanks again.

Sounds frustrating. I dont know the answer but your post in Chat GPT gives the below response. It may be useless, or one of the points may help, i dont know. AI: Here are some less obvious but technically plausible causes that can create persistent foaming in a Siemens dishwasher, even with...

Ah yes, I can see the washing machine beside the sink. There will be a shiny flexible plastic (usually blue or grey) water supply pipe to the water pipe under the sink, and a larger, grey, often ribbed rubber, hose for the washer waste. This will attach in some way to the waste pipe...

I'll spare you the details, in my mums house and doubt the tap below the sink has been turned off since at least 2003 when the last kitchen went in. I've tried every method I've researched bar the propane torch because it won't work on it's side. So I called in a plumber(reputable) and thought...

You need to change the route of the hose so it loops UP to the underside of the worktop. This prevents dirty water from the sink running into it and lying stagnant in the hose and dishwasher.

The waste hose from the washer should be looped up so the top is against the worktop. This is to prevent dirty water from the sink running down the pipe into the washer. Your first loop is going down, so stagnant water will lie in it. Your actual waste pipe appears to be on the left, and is...

Hello Themoo, It was too long. It makes it easier to connect and install the machine if you have a bit of slack. If there are two people, you can use the current hose by getting someone to push the machine in while holding the looped over unconnected hose and then pull the hose down to the...

Hello Themoo, Your "plumber" has shortened the hose, but it still needs to be looped higher at the top of the cabinet. The way it is now means that dirty water from your sink can discharge into the hose and sit there getting stagnant. The hose looks too short now so you would have to extend it...

I would treat yourself to a new Trap, you may well find the old one leaks if you try and reuse it. Secondly, the Appliance waste hose needs to loop up, to the underside of the sink and drop back down to the discharge point, if left as is, there is a risk of dirty water from the sink going back...

The purpose of the loop is to prevent sink water running into the appliance. The top of the loop has to bring the hose higher than the water level in the sink when you pull the plug out. This can be done by passing the hose through a hole in the side of the sink unit right up at the top, or by...

If you don't understand how syphoning works you shouldn't be giving out advice on a forum. Sorry. Anyway, I've already tried temporarily raising the height of the hose as you suggest on previous occasions and it does not solve the problem. This image should give you a clue why the height of...

John is completely correct , you are completely confused .

I understand enough to know that water will not run into a hose if the top of the loop is above the water level in the sink when you pull the plug out. But never mind, if you're so convinced that you won't even screw in a cup-hook to tie up your hose, feel free to wander down blind alleys Goodbye.

Thanks John but with all due respect I don't think you understand how syphoning works... If a syphon pipe is already fully primed with water and no air gaps it doesn't matter how high the top of the loop is, you can still syphon the contents out of the lower container. (The standing water in...

There isn't actually any gap between the back of the sink and the back panel of the kitchen unit, nor to the right hand side - how the pipe is in the picture is the highest the loop can go without putting the loop completely outside the kitchen unit, and I'm not sure there is enough room or hose...

The run of the waste hose is wrong. You have to loop it up to the worktop. Tie it in place with string and a cuphook or something. It can also be achieved by drilling a hole in the side of the sink unit at the top, and passing the hose through that. Yours comes in at the bottom which is...

The pump will have enough push to allow it to drain up the length of the drain hose and up over the top of the unit. Again though, any excess loops of pipe will gather at least some waste water. Ideally the drain hose is kept as short as possible and if the dishwasher needs to be pulled out then...

That's what I was thinking of when I get home, maybe a cable tie or something to hold it up. What water would be discharging into this though, from the sink or dishwasher? On another note and not sure if it's related but after we had the new washing machine installed, we are getting a gargling...
