Just moved into a new rental house, the washing machine needed a repair on moving in and clearly hasn't been used much. Once the repair was complete, two washes in I had a flooded kitchen floor.
Pulled the washer out to find the waste connection had popped off (which is attached to a Y adaptor sealed to the top of the standpipe) . I put it back on (no clip or jubilee, just a fairly mediocre strength push fitting) and restarted. 2 minutes later the same flood of water happened and the connection had popped off again.
Can you have a look at the picture and tell me if this is right? The standpipe is sealed at the top with the two connections into it from the dishwasher and the washing machine. I would have thought the connector popping off was a result of the connector not being vented? Does it need replacing with a vented viking hat? I could just put a jubilee clip on the connector, but if the Y adaptor should be vented I should shout out to my landlord to get a plumber in to sort it properly.
