Washing Machine Drain Into Sink

If your washing machine is not draining properly, it can be a major inconvenience. One possible solution is to drain the washing machine into the sink. This can be a temporary solution until you can get the washing machine repaired, or it can be a permanent solution if you do not have a drainpipe for the washing machine.

To drain the washing machine into the sink, you will need a few supplies. You will need a bucket, a hose, and a pair of pliers. You may also need a screwdriver if the hose is attached to the washing machine with a screw.

Once you have your supplies, follow these steps to drain the washing machine into the sink:

Turn off the water supply to the washing machine.
Disconnect the drain hose from the washing machine. If the hose is attached with a screw, use the screwdriver to remove the screw.
Place the bucket under the drain hose.
Open the drain hose and allow the water to drain into the bucket.
Once the water has stopped draining, reattach the drain hose to the washing machine.
Turn on the water supply to the washing machine.
Run the washing machine through a rinse cycle to clear out any remaining water.

If you are draining the washing machine into the sink on a permanent basis, you may want to install a drain trap. This will help to prevent sewer gases from entering your home. To install a drain trap, follow these steps:

Cut a piece of PVC pipe to the desired length.
Attach a drain trap to one end of the PVC pipe.
Attach the other end of the PVC pipe to the drain hose from the washing machine.
Place the drain trap under the sink.

Once you have installed the drain trap, run the washing machine through a rinse cycle to make sure that it is working properly.

Draining the washing machine into the sink is a relatively simple process. By following the steps outlined above, you can have your washing machine draining properly in no time.
