Question is what the heck is the plastic pipe coming down from UP at the top of the laundry box. I thought it might be from the AC coils (up in the ...
Had a client this morning describe a problem for which I have no answer. So I thought I would post it here. The problem: When the washer drains they get suds, not actual water, overflowing from the drain opening. While no water comes out, it is of course wet. They have had the builder out, who has supposedly for some reason scoped the pipe and confirmed no blockage. They have had an appliance ...
