[Washing machine floor drain] What to do if the washing machine floor drain is reversed
1. What should I do if the washing machine floor drain is reversed ?
If the floor drain of the washing machine is reversed, it may be because the floor drain is blocked. When using the floor drain of the washing machine to drain the water, we should pay attention to avoid foreign objects such as hair caused by washing the bathroom to block the floor drain.
The floor drain of the washing machine is blocked, resulting in poor water flow, no drainage, and flooding. If this is the case, you only need to clean up the blocked foreign matter. Regular cleaning can reduce this occurrence.
The water outlet pipe of the washing machine is too high from the ground, and there is a phenomenon that water is flowing in and out at the same time. Generally, the installation height of the drain pipe opening from the ground should be less than 10cm, and it should not be wrapped. If the drain pipe feels too long, the drain pipe can be cut short. Be careful to cut it obliquely, so as to ensure smooth drainage.
There is no problem during installation, and there is no foreign matter clogging, just keep reversing the water. You can do this:
(1) Pull out the inner core and insert the tube directly. (PS: It will smell bad for a long time)
(2) Remove the drain pipe from the hook of the floor drain, then find a small beverage bottle, and cut the mouth of the beverage bottle with scissors. The mouth of the bottle should be suitable for the mouth of the drain pipe. Find a few more and try them one by one. It is best not to use a mineral water bottle. The bottle body is too soft to pinch. Find a suitable bottle spout that can be inserted into the drain pipe and try draining again. (This method may not be effective for front-loading washing machines)
Second, what to do if the floor drain of the washing machine smells bad ?
Reason: At present, the floor drains of washing machines on the market are mainly divided into two types, one is the traditional water-sealed deodorant, and the other is the new type of self-sealing deodorant. According to the national standard, the height of the water seal and the odor-proof floor drain is 50MM, but the height of the floor drain water seal produced by many manufacturers is only 10-20MM.
When installing, the water outlet pipe is too high from the ground, so that the water inside is not drained cleanly every time, and the smell will naturally become unpleasant over time; the drainage pipe is too small, and the water cannot be drained.
You can do this:
Replace the floor drain, choose a good seal, preferably a floor drain dedicated to washing machines.
Cover the floor drain with a damp towel or plastic bag with some sand and mud to prevent the unpleasant odor from spreading around.
Use deodorant and pay more attention to cleaning.
Third, common troubleshooting of washing machine floor drain
Trouble 1. Water overflow when the washing machine floor drain is drained
The overflow when the washing machine floor drain is drained is because of the floor drain drainage pipe If the cross-sectional area is too small and the drainage curve is too many, the drainage speed is slow. Generally, this phenomenon occurs in the deep water sealing floor drain and the inclined baffle floor drain. It is enough to replace the special deodorant floor drain for washing machines.
Fault 2. When the floor drain cover is removed from the washing machine or inserted into the hole in the middle of the floor drain, the odor will return
This is because the shallow water-sealed floor drain does not have a real deodorant core As a result, the use of a floor drain with a deodorant core specially designed for washing machines will not only affect the deodorant function, but also eliminate the need to remove the floor drain cover, which is very convenient.
Fourth, how to choose the floor drain of the washing machine?
1. The floor drain of the washing machine should choose the floor drain that can prevent odor, run the water quickly, and have a large amount of water;
2. The floor drain of the washing machine should be selected according to the size of the water pipe of the washing machine, so as not to cause flooding;

4. The choice of the floor drain of the washing machine is mainly considered from three aspects: ease of cleaning, drainage speed, and deodorization effect.
5. How to install the floor drain of the washing machine
Before installing the floor drain of the washing machine, you must first buy a suitable floor drain of the washing machine according to the size of the washing machine’s drain. Nowadays, the diameter of the general sewer pipe is 50, and then the drain outlet is made according to the size of the floor drain. The installation of the floor drain of the washing machine can be carried out smoothly only if the size matches. If the floor drain of the washing machine is installed in a place where there is no drainage outlet, it is necessary to process the floor and then penetrate the floor to re-install the water pipe.
