Water coming into sink after new washing fitted

Alison Casey 14/07/2025 - 9.50 AM

I had a new washing machine fitted yesterday but I cant use it as when it goes on to the spin the sink fills with water and water is pouring from the pipe under the sink I had no problem with the old machine. The guy who fitted it did the test and when the water started going in the sink he said he plumbed it in correctly I have a blocked pipe probably due to food waste. I said are you sure as Ive had no problems with blockages until now. He then got abit funny with me and said hes been plumbing washing machines for 30yrs blah blah and said its nothing to do with him. So I followed his advice put sink drainer gel down the sink left it overnight. I have just done a rinse and spin and my sink is full of water again ! Was this fitted incorrectly ? Should I contact the company ? Please help Thank you Alison

Can’t tell if it was fitted correctly without seeing it , but you have a blockage in the pipe he advised you to do something and it hasn’t worked. Tell his company the situation and if they don’t wanna fix it give them the review they deserve.

Sounds like you have a blockage further down the waste pipe
