Thanks for all the info. Covered with a plastic bag and rubber band. If smell goes away i will replace the valve.
Possibly? BUT NEVER HAS HAPPENED. Countless customers of mine over the past 30 years have done the bag trick and even closed the vent OFF and have never had the P trap go dry. Doug
PS, another Gray odor source IS the Plumbed Washer/Dryer drain P trap. Unless you have the drain tube blocked OFF or put water in the P trap(you do not have or use a Washer), then the Gray odors will come up in the Washer Dryer area cabinet. Some OEM's cap off that pipe and others leave it open.
