Who fixes washing machines?

Posted by Hannah Merridale, on
My washing machine won't drain so I'm having to manually do it with the emergency hose. It wasn't installed correctly and the drain hose is attached to the sink drain if that makes sense? I'm wondering whether something is blocked there, but the sink is draining fine.

Hi Hannah unscrew the attachment for the washing machine from the waste trap and check that there isn't a bunge inside or the attachment needs the end cutting off ( remove the hose to check)to allow the water to flow through. This method of attaching the waste pipe to the trap normally works fine. Ed
