  • The washing machine drains into the same pipe that whisks away sink and toilet stuff. The u bendy thing doesn't make a tight seal with the exit pipe.

    There are smells when washing clothes. Bad bad smells. They've got a lot worse recently.

    Will a tight seal fix this?
    Is it indicative of a block further down the sewer pipe?

  • Well, I thought not. I'd assumed it was going into waste water along with kitchen sink, dishwasher etc

  • Shouldn't all of that type of water go in to the soil stack?

    @moocher, check the ubend is clear of debris and full of water, then make sure the pipe attachment seal is all the way round. Is the smell in the machine or in the room?
