All of a sudden we have a terrible smell (like a dose of strong dirty dish towels sitting for ages) that's coming from behind new washer or dryer. There is no water on the floor, and the washer and dryer do not smell inside the drums. Dryer vent goes out the roof. The duct is free from lint build up, so that's the not issue.
Trying to think of what was different or could be related.
The day before there was a loud sound (more of a bang on the window sound or a large picture off the wall fell) in the middle of the night. When I heard the sound, I came running out but did not see anything that fell or could not see anything visible that the sound came from. The day after the smell started.
About 3 months ago we had a plumber fix the very smelly backed up water in the dishwasher issue. Water would back up in the dishwasher every time we ran it and the water would smell bad. We have a double sink with a garbage disposal. He went under the sink and did a quick fix, and the problem was solved. I don't know what he did exactly to fix it and I can't call him as they are out of business.. Not sure if this could be related.
Any ideas? I ran the dishwasher today and the smell is even worse. I can't even open the laundry room door the smell is so bad in there. I have been nauseated all day. Aside from suggesting to call a plumber which I obviously will
I'm wondering what your opinions are on this, and if anyone could tell me what the fix is normally to fix a water from backing up in a dishwasher what is normally done.
Thanks
