what's up /diy/

recently in the past couple weeks my laundry room has been emitting a nauseating odor (something like sewage, or sulfur) whenever i run my washer.
anybody know what it could be from from? i live in a quadplex if that would matter at all.

could be washer, could be the drain it is connected to, could be a million things, we are not internet wizards unless someone do an inspection nobody will be able to magic you an answer on the 4chans

Sewage or Sulfur...Shit or eggs? It's a bit different.

Pour bleach down a plughole, it's cheap as fuck, a gallon or whatever you measure in.
>>
something inside the washer going kaput? maybe a belt or motor brushes wearing/burning to shit?

Most likely your drains but could be a capacitor starting to leak in the washer.

do you have a little drain trap under your washer and is it connected to your septic line? if the water evaporates from that youll get shit smells like crazy. just pour a little water in it

This. Definitely a drain issue.

If it's well water sulphur or rotton egg smell happens at times and is normal. Typically when the well is getting low.

I've heard about this before. The plumbing guy at Lowe's said it was either the coil in the water heater, or possibly something to do with the water softener.

He called it an anode rod.
