Used Washing Machine Issue: Stagnant Water in Drum Despite Shutting Off Supply

Question

Hello, not long ago I bought a used washing machine. However, from the very beginning, it is as if the water flows back into it, which stinks a lot. I tried to turn off the water supply, but it didn't help. So it seems to me that it must be a problem with the water drainage after washing

I do not know if I can do it right, but you can put the dirty water hose lower, it means that the water is not pumped high, because when the pump stops working, the water at the highest point (e.g. the hose's knee) returns. Perhaps there is a problem here.

Clean the filter, wash the recesses of the door seals - there are traps that trap water.
With frequent washing, as I do every day, the problem does not exist.
In addition, it is worth buying a drain cap with a one-way valve - a simple ball in a plastic housing.

thank you for the advice I don't think it's the fault of the nooks and crannies, because if we don't wash the water for a long time, the water stays up to 1/4 of the drum. Try this snake

kwantor · Answer

There can be no more than 0.5 L of water in the hose, which will not explain 1/4 of the capacity of the drum, unless someone else is connected to the riser and the sewage from the upper floors somehow gets there, or the faulty sewage system causes backflow.
It looks more like a faulty filling solenoid valve of the washing machine.
What is the problem, remove the drain and watch for the period of non-washing what is happening.

And where is the drain from the washing machine connected? If the siphon of the washbasin is siphon, water from it often enters the washing machine through the drain hose, especially when the water is draining poorly from the washbasin.

sylciak · Answer

ok i will check it out. in fact, the washing machine is connected to the wash basin. I will also check the version with the neighbors. greetings

vorlog · Answer

The washing machine can be connected to the siphon kit under the washbasin via the one-way / non-return valve, it has a spring-loaded flap, the washing machine pump generates enough pressure to open it, and the water flowing from the washbasin has no way to flow into the drain hose of the washing machine.
Personally, I bought at the Nomi market, but probably available in most fittings stores.
