Hello everyone,
I have been following for some time (a great forum for all Ikea enthusiasts) - and I currently have a problem that is driving me crazy:
We bought an old building house two years ago and installed an IKEA kitchen. The piping in the kitchen was completely renewed beforehand. And for a long time, everything worked without any problems. In the past few weeks, the water has been draining worse and worse - and now it is practically standing completely.
Of course, a clogged drain is likely - but it is completely free. And a bit of research shows me that Atlant is a relatively "notorious" part regarding poorly/not draining water.
Today I disassembled the entire drain, cleaned it, and reassembled it, checked the drain again - it is now practically all in like-new condition. Nevertheless, the water continues to drain poorly.
I now suspect a (apparently) typical(?) ventilation problem for ATLANT, because WITHOUT the siphon the water drains (directly into the pipe) perfectly - and diverting the siphon into a bucket also works fine.
Long story short: The problem seems to be common - and real solutions are extremely rare in the various forums. Is there possibly someone who has replaced the entire drain with a standard siphon as a "solution"? I am currently planning to replace the sink and drain completely (because it is often said that a standard siphon can solve the problem) ...
If anyone can provide feedback quickly, I would be very, very grateful!
Stefan
PS I: Yes, I have already read the various posts here. But mostly there is no real problem solution or the problem is different (e.g. odor development).
PS II: In the bathroom, the drain from the LILLANGEN sink looks similar. Maybe the special IKEA siphons don’t like German standard drains?!?
