Maybe call an exterminator. — Barry Sent from my iPad On Nov 27, 2023, at 12:23 PM, cody dooderson <d00d3r...@gmail.com> wrote:  I have no idea. You might be able to buy a clear plasti replacement for the u-trap. Then you could add some food coloring to the wash and record a video of what happens.  _ Cody Smith _ c...@simtable.com On Mon, Nov 27, 2023 at 7:42 AM Prof David West <profw...@fastmail.fm> wrote: When the washer drains, water flows for a bit, then you hear the pipe filling up and water comes out the top. Pause the flow, water drains quickly, start and pipe fills again. Cycle till rate of flow subsides.  Question: can turbulence occur at the u-trap and cause a temporary blockage?  If yes, does the  turbulence occur because of the distance from entry to the u-trap? Will ask plumber — but prior discussions of turbulence on the list made me think it might pose an interesting problem.. Dwest-. --- - / ...- .- .-.. .. -.. / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. .
