 Ok, you're Crosley is probably a Maytag Performa-based washer. They do have a strong pump on them. Most of the connections we do are to standpipes and not sinks. How tall is the pipe before the trap? Is there a trap? How big of a diameter of standpipe is it? Where does the standpipe go to? It is more likely a plumbing issue than a washer issue. There also may be a build-up of lint and gak in your pipes. Anyway, I hope this helps somewhat. | ||

But? Why does it pump out so strongly only on the final rinse, and not when pumping out the wash cycle? That's what seems bizarre. I have no problem when it pumps out the wash cycle, only the rinse. | ||

The only drain backup I have ever experienced with an automatic washer was in a very old house. A half gallon of bleach allowed to stand in the drain pipe overnight fixed it. Evidently the drain had become restricted by deposits the bleach could attack.
If you look, $5 liquid drain cleaner is the same thing as $1 storebrand bleach, sodium hypochlorite. There may be a deeper plumbing problem to explain why the first drain does not cause the problem but the second drain does. | ||
