I was hoping someone could help me! After losing our washer/dryer (and loads of more stuff) in Hurricane Sandy, we bought a new front loader washing machine, which we hated. Thankfully the store let us exchange it. This week we got a new Old-school top loader, a Speed Queen model 542. Right away from the first load we noticed soap suds coming out from the drain hose connection, mostly during the rinse part, toward the end of the load. Although we were pretty sure it was not a plumbing problem, we snaked the line all the way to the main. There was no real blockage. We also installed the standpipe adapter. We still have suds coming out in every load. I can shove a towel in and catch most of the suds. However, this is a stressful way to do my laundry. We assumed that maybe our lines were not used to the huge amount of water being pumped out, compared to the amount that was being pumped out for the time that we were using the front loader. However, before the hurricane we also had a regular top loader as well and never once had a problem back then. So we are stumped as to why we are having this problem now, but being that it started on my very first load with my new Speed Queen, can I maybe assume it is a problem with the actual machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is an adapter for this problem which is common with newer machines and older pipes, The old pipes are not made for the extra water coming out.
