This is funny as my old dryer also had the purple primer stains. That shit is dangerous.

He's just that fancy and gets custom cabinets and back splashes for all the rooms in the house
There is actually a solid reason for this. The kitchen project took a couple of years - for one of those years
it was completely gutted. We moved a bathroom/laundry to the other side of the house - so we set it up
like a kitchen first - no range, but got through with toaster oven/mw. It has all the bike stuff in it now, plus
overflow storage - like the dehydrator and 100 different lightbulbs.
They are stock lowe's cabinets, and whatever combo glass/porcelain tile was on-sale.
I think the corian countertop cost more than the cabinets.
It has worked out well. The insomnia-cat gets to sleep in there.
In the dryer?
up to the cat - can't leave the washing machine open, cause the bad cat chews on the gasket.

my wife went on a rant about how front loaders smell...so we got a new top loader...whatever....but that ties into my bigger problem is that my 1.5" piping now cant handle the new washers ability to drain itself....So for now I stepped up the stand pipe to 4inches....which works so long as you dont run the deep rinse cycle..
the smell goes away if ya run the clean cycle and don’t let the gasket drains get clogged
something else is wrong with you plumbing. 2” with 30”(?)before trap is fine.

Are you guessing lint and cat hair from the washer?
incorrectly vented would be first, clogged drain downstream second (perhaps from undersized pipe?)
would need pic - and exploding dryer.
i say he disconnects the heating element, and fires it up on a regular circuit - with cinder block.
and maybe some other fun stuff in stuck open door
probably should be lag bolted to a tree - or maybe just tethered.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
thats the thing, he can't do this until footage is uploaded/streamed
its 1.5" not 2....and there is a vent right by the washer....However the line Y's with the line to my kitchen sink......then an old copper line (1.5") goes down thru my basement floor to who knows where.....I can run my kitchen sink all day and it wont back up ever....but after about 45 sec, the washer overwhelms it....As an additional vent test, i removed the cleanout plug to my kitchen sink (in my basement)...water backed up and ran out of it during the washers drain cycle. So maybe this line just goes to a drywell and doesnt tie into my sewer main? Maybe its partially clogged? I tried removing the cleanout and running the garden hose down it....doesnt back up. But eventually, i want to just run the drain pipe into the sewer main.
i guess i'll be over later this summer with some cool tools...
ya gotta have 2" !
let me know where to spill the purple primer.
