There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to this happening except that it seems to occur when we either run a very large load or if we happen to run a small load of laundry but still had the water level set for high or extra-high. However, it doesn't overflow every time this situation occurs. I had a plumber come out to look at the situation, thinking that there was probably a clogged drain line. However, the plumber ran 3 extra-large loads of water down the drain, and he thought it ran fine and sounded like water was draining normally. He said that he could run his snake down the line, but thought it would be a waste of my money to do so. Do you think I should still get the line snaked out or do you have other suggestions. Thanks in advance for your comments :) .

What other explanation did the plumber have other then a partial blockage in the washer drain line? Unless the drainage pipes aren't large enough to handle the volume discharged by the washer that could be the only answer. I'm surprised the plumber didn't come to the same conclusion that I did and at least take a extra 15 minutes to run a snake down the drain line. Good luck, Tom
