Hi – I have a foul odor coming from my laundry room when I do wash. It is a new house and the fixture was properly vented. I have not ruled out a clogged vent except there is no smell when the wash is off? Does anyone have any ideas on this one? By the way it is a rotten egg smell.

"Rotten egg" suggests sulphur sometimes.
Is this city or well water?
Have small chilluns? Might actually be a rotten egg hidden behind the w/d. The smell would 'circulate' when one or the other machine went on and recirculated the air.
Any floor drain in the room?
or perhaps under the washer in an overflow tray?
