Ideally, it will have a trap at the bottom, and be connected to a vent just downstream of that trap. If you don't have this (older homes often won't) try pouring a liter of water down the standpipe each day for a week or two. If that prevents a return of the smell, the odor is coming from the drain itself, not from the machine or its hose. | |

It looks like the manufacturer wants the hose clipped vertically straight up the back of the machine and then horizontal just beneath the top/lid and in to the standpipe..would the droop cause stagnant water? Could the smell be from inside the machine? How do I pinpoint where it's coming fromm | |
