Somewhere down the pipe from where the washer and kitchen drain combine, there is a blockage. You will have to find where these join and look further outward for a 'cleanout' plug, then fit a snake down this plughole.

How can I properly hook up a washing machine drain hose?

To properly hook up a washing machine drain hose, first locate the drain outlet on the back of the washing machine. Connect one end of the drain hose to this outlet securely. Next, find the drain pipe in your laundry room or utility area. Insert the other end of the drain hose into the drain pipe, making sure it is secured in place. Ensure that the hose is not kinked or twisted, as this can cause drainage issues. Finally, test the connection by running a small load of laundry to check for any leaks or drainage problems.
