Hello, got myself in a right pickle...

I replaced an old (home made) waste trap which had a washing machine and dishwasher connected into it. Installed new trap with a twin discharge connector, now neither appliances will not drain out through the new system unless I manually disconnect them...then they drain out (into bucket).

I'm trying to keep calm, any suggestions would be appreciated

many thanks

Paul

The new trap must be blocked somewhere. The connections normally have a blank which needs to be removed. Unscrew the connectors and check.
 
Remove the Dishwasher/washing machine drain fittings, there should be "blanking off" plates fitted underneath the nuts
