fuzzy Quick question. The outlet pipe on the washing machine is blocked. I've tried poking long drain brushes down it and baking powder with vinegar to create a little fizzy reaction but it's still blocked. Pisses water everywhere on the spin and rinse cycle. Can you use that Mr Muscle gel on plastic pipes? I'm worried it will fuck up the pipe. Horrible stuff if it goes everywhere. Wanted to avoid calling a plumber as the mrs is still not back at work and has stopped being paid. Money is tight as fuck at the moment and our usual plumber charges a kings ransom for little jobs like that. So Mr Muscle gel yeah or no on a plastic washing machine outlet pipe? Thanks .
Djpekingman Is it really the pipe or is it the filter/pump on the washing machine that's blocked? The latter would be most likely - the pipes aren't going to get blocked if there's only water going down it. Coins, small socks or undies, hair clips all that kind of thing can block the pump and/or filter. It's normally a really easy job to un block them.
fuzzy Yeah it's the pipe. You can see it pissing out at the back. Called a washing machine repair man and he came out to it and said it was the pipe and charged me £45 call out fee then fucked off.
Harvest As above. Bottom right usually, open the little flap, have a towel ready as there'll be a little bit of water. You'll find an old pair of duds or something in there no doubt. Best I've got.
Bod Mr Muscle drain cleaner is ok for all types of pipes, it won't damage plastic pipes. Supposed to be very good
Anchor Mine come off via big screw thing. Have replaced them before. Gutted for yah. Hate spending money on shit like that. There's a plumber bloke on YT who is good. I watched his vid to fix my shitter. I'll have a look.
Anchor https://youtube.com/@plumberparts?si=SdhniVM2xMJsFSKL This cunt although looks likes he's a YT millionaire now selling merch and members only shit. His vid sorted me out though.
fuzzy Bod Yeah I put some Mr Muscle down and let it sit for 24 hours and ordered one of those drain snake things that you turn with a handle and they rotate through the pipe. Loads of boiling water from the kettle then flushed it out. It looked like bits of tissue from people's pockets had caused the blockage. Just done a wash and the pipe is no longer leaking. The Mrs didn't even acknowledge it when I told her it was fixed she was straight onto blaming me for an argument she had with the daughter this morning due to her being snappy with her and the daughter taking it badly. Oh well that's life and of course that was my fault but I'm happy about the unblocked pipe. The blocked pipes of our relationship might take a lot more work. Thanks everyone for the tips 👍
