It's only been leaking a year, and not terribly. I didn't install it and I am just a DIY. I can see water ooze out where the drain hose enters the stand pipe during the exhaust cycles. The guy had a pipe trap at the top of the PVC standpipe that appears unnecessary. I removed it for a few hours and smelled no odor. No lint clogging in the trap. No vent is apparent. The standpipe comes out of the floor from an almost inaccessible crawlspace. The stand pipe is higher than the water level in the machine. It seems that he had a little ring seal around the vent hose on the portion that was stuck in the stand pipe.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or general comments would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to learn as much as I can for future projects.
