Problem for Indesit W 123 Front Load Washer

I had a cockroach scare and closed off the opening




By stns43 on Nov 05, 2009

I had a cockroach scare and closed off the opening where the drain pipe of my washing machine drains into another pipe. Would this cause the washing machine to flood water out the bottom of the washing machine? I don't like any pipe openings as I am monitoring for cockroaches!

Unfortunately a lot of us have the straight pipe for a drain that you describe. With no trap it is a source of entry for bugs from the sewer and vent pipe. I have the drain from my washer in the pipe with the rest of the opening covered over with duct tape, As long as you don't block or kink the drain pipe you should have no problem closing the area around the drain pipe. I've been running mine that way for over 20 years now! Thanks for using fixya!
