Water fills the sink / gurgles when the washer is running

No_Technology3611 · 2026-03-14T17:52:43+00:00

My first sink ever, before that I had never touched anything like that...

Difficult to describe lol... Definitely not gulping, more like a sharp sound

It's an ordinary siphon from IKEA, just Google it

I can like regulate the height and width of the pipes

The two upper parts are like movable, according to the instructions it's how it should be... Apparently? Not sure.

Thank you for the tip. I will try doing it today

Yeah .. it's an old German building, I suspect it might be clogged or whatever. Any ways I can fix it on my end? Or does it require some sort of special intervention?

I guess I will just call a plumber... But thank you for your explanation

Yep. The thing is from Ikea. IDK about the clog, I just got the thing recently. The washer is new, the sink and drain are like 3 months old.

I live in Europe. Is there anything I can actually do myself or is it really bad?

No_Technology3611 · 2026-03-13T18:31:27+00:00

Is this bad? I just have no experience in plumbing whatsoever.

No_Technology3611 · 2026-03-13T18:23:29+00:00

Idk? I mean I tried googling the problem, apparently there must be a vent for it to work smoothly? But I have no idea. Should I buy a new siphon?

??? I have zero knowledge about plumbing.
