New washer kitchen sink gurgles
Hello experts:
We just had to buy a new Maytag top loading washer (not the best, not the cheapest.) When it drains our kitchen sink gurgles (the water isn't sucked out though.) With our old washer (made in 1994) we did not have this problem - any ideas? |

You should snake out the kitchen and washer roof vents to be sure. Good luck, Tom |
