I keep getting different answers - some plumbers think the washing machine hookup is bad and another one doesn't know what the issue is. We inherited this home and the old washing machine. When it comes up in the sink it goes back down when the water is let out. No other plumbing issues in house or water bubbling elsewhere when this happens. Only in kitchen. Plumber also tried to snake, no issues found. Washing machines does not have a studor vent. I do not have a cleanout. House built in 1974. Any help appreciated! For now we can only do small loads at a time.

if I can show anything else that can help answer pls let me know



Heres how it looks

Some lax codes did allow for an 11/2 kitchen waste line which is Ludacris


The volume from a full sized washing machine will push too much volume down that line
