Hello,

I just recently moved and installed a washer into a new location. I washed a load in the washer and the drain backed up. I had another washer in the same location, but didn't have any drain problems. Is it my washer, washer hose or maybe my drain is clogged?:confused:

Make sure the washer hose is pushed far enough down the pipe. If it is then it could be a clog due to lint build up.

What brand is the new washer? What size is the standpipe? 1 1/2" or 2"? I just had a lady with the same problem as yours. It turned out t6hat the Maytag washer she purchased had a pump so powerful that it overpowered the system and backed up. Maytag replaced her washer with a different model and now she's fine. Any chance you have the same problem? A partial clog in your drain would cause the same systems. Cheers. Tom
