Hi, new to the site and looking for some advice. The waste pipes from both my washing machine and dishwasher feed into a 40mm standpipe which is connected to the waste pipe under the kitchen sink. The dishwasher works without any problems but when the washing machine starts to empty the water is coming back up and out of the standpipe. This problem only arose when I changed to a new washing machine which makes me thinks it is pumping out waste water faster than the old machine.
I have an unused washing machine waste connection under the sink and was thinking that the solution might be to get an extension for the waste pipe from the washing machine and connect it directly under the sink.
As I am completely inexperienced in this area I would be very grateful for any advice. Thanks.
