I could put it where you said , it's true but, the system is working fine the way it is so no reason for me to play around further. no sewer gases coming up any of those open pipes due to the p trap and also the AAV is one way in only. So, problems really solved right now but thanks. the...

yes that aav (one way valve) allows air into the drain pipes to follow the water as it goes towards the main sewer. It is what has allowed my washer and newly hooked up laundry tub to drain water quickly again. and the p traps stop all sewer gases from coming back. Yes i will be dismantling the...

My front load washer drain hose makes gurgling sounds as the washer goes through its normal washing cycle. as the washer works I keep hearing these gurgling sounds as the washer is working normally. Is it normal to hear gurgling sounds from the drain hose? It sounds like water is sloshing around...

I thought this was a useful forum over the past year or so until an idiot writes "I smell a troll" . If you have nothing useful to add to a discussion... STFU

so why do some washer drain hoses exit down and others exit up?

the back of my new washing machine LG WM3170CW looks like picture number 1 and number 3. However you are suppose to try to make in inverted U a the stack pipe wth the included drain hose clamp. So how is the drain hose suppose to look like in the end? The drain hose is kind of long and close to...

I ended up with a front loader. LG WM3170CW as my wife wanted to try the front loader based on it being Energy Star Most Efficient 2014 and 2015. The first normal full load only took 45 mintues. It is very quiet too which we like in our tiny home. We never use bleach. We are too concerned...

ah yes I am trying to avoid the lysol or bleach wipes. i don't have leaky doors on my old top loader because of a dirty door seal. only happens with the front loaders. maintenance is required. its a lot easier for water to evaporate from a top loader with door open as the vapours rise as opposed...

top loader washers have the steel outer and inner? im more interested in the top loaders if any at all?

does anyone know off hand which washers have the steel inner tub and steel outer drum? so far I think it's miele and ...

I only have space in my basement of my old house to keep the washer. My basement is generally humid at around 70% RH during the summer but around 20% in the winter. since i basically have a humid basement I started to think that I should never put a front load washer in my basement. Probably due...

Yes i thought about asking a sales rep if it would be possible to at the very least flip through the cycles with the control dial to see what times are set. at least the manuals could tell you that much!

Hi Jerry this is the only F&P I can buy in Canada. WT4027J1 Ilike it's simplicity, agitation times are writtin the manual and it's energy star. but consumer reports wrote an article that it is middle of the range for cleaning. I thought it might be better. thanks...

Oh yes, I have found that Speed Queen was very good. but then it doesn't get sold where I live here in Canada unless it's under the Huebsch brand name.

I have notice after a few days of searching that cycle times are not really printed in user manuals or spec sheets. I guess this is on purpose? I have only rarely found machines that print some indication of the cycle time or at least the agitation time and then you have to guess at the total...
