    Soapy water drainage?
    One of my grandchildren, trying to help, decided to wash his dirty pants & sock and put too much concentrated cold water wash to the washer. Now my washer won't drain because of the bubbles! I've tried removing the bubbles by bucket to no avail. What do I do? Is there something I can put into the washer to dissolve the bubbles so it will drain? Please help!

    You can't disssolve bubbles but you can make them break up. If you have access to a hot tub defoamer liquid just add that to the machine and allow it to agitate. That or add a 1/4 cup of mineral oil, cooking corn oil to the tub.
