Washing machine and sink smells

[Micky87]

Anyone help not sure my washing machine is draining properly at the minute and clothes seem to come out musty after a wash. Is the drain pipe to long and water still stuck in it after a wash? Plus when my sink is draining awful smells come up thru it as well.

Check out the flexible hose overflow pipe ,it's probably full of crud. The washing machines waste hose looks ok.

Have a bucket underneath when you disconect at the trap end, just undo the nut but be careful the rubber cone washer and plastic backing washer don`t fall in the bucket and as expected it is full of crud it will be heavier than expected.
