...there is some kind of contraption in new washing machines and other appliances from allowing water from the machine to be sucked back into the public water supply if there is a drop in outside water pressure that is lower than the inside water pressure. I had a similar problem with my machine and after a 2 second analysis of the part and it's design I determined that it was a POS and wouldn't do anyhting but leak soapy water all over the place. Replaced it with a clear piece of hose and have had no problems since. The device is called a Backflow protection device. It is on all machines even if ya on well water.

sure that this is leak in the drain or the drain process.


THats what I am saying. Just maybe something crawled into that pipe or whatever and when the washer drains the pipe cant keep up with the flow of water. Just pull the washer out and run it. Could be an easy find. Now the FIX might be a challenge LOL, Sorry for all the headaches you going through right now.....


And when I worked at west beach resort on the island a bird tried to get into the vent pipe on top of the roof. Took forever to figure it out, but I did and just had to cut that section of pipe out and sure enough there was a drowned bird head first into the vent line, just below where the bathroom sink tied into the vent pipe.

And when I was taking care of those 248 apartments in TX, we had a commercial shop vas with 2 HUGE suction motors on top. It would pull a max vacuum and it would suck anything out of the drain pipes. I wont go into detail some of the crap I pulled out with that machine LOL
