Washing Machine Question

[Michael Kauffman]

[size=14]I was working on the sewer odor problem, from an earlier post, and decided to run some water through the Bendix washer/dryer, to make sure the trap was filled.  We've never used it, in the year and a half we've had it.  I looked up the drain schematics, and it looks like the washer is suppose to drain directly out, without going through a tank.  I ran at least a couple of gallons through it, and nothing came out the drain.  Does it really go into the gray tank first?  I am just full of questions today.
Thanks everybody.

Some Beavers require a sewer connection to use the washer, because they drain directly.  Others, like mine, drain to the grey tank, and do not require a sewer connection.  However after 2 loads, be prepared to dump the tank.  My washer uses about 26 gallons of water per wash.  Apparently yours goes to the tank.
