washing machine drain in floor
Hi, Just bought a new house and found out that the washing machine drain is located in the floor. Will this cause a problem? Every other machine I've seen has had the drain in the back. It appears that is directly or a few inches to the right of the machine in the floor. Thanks for the help! |

Hi,
found out that the washing machine drain is located in the floor. Will this cause a problem? It can cause syphoning out of the water problems yes...http://www.applianceaid.com/faq-washers.html#filling jeff. Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ |

Sounds like someone took a shortcut and it may have worked. Generally, all drains are in the floor because you use gravity to move the water, but a standpipe prevents siphoning or backflow. You can use the drain, but do add a standpipe for the washer. |
