Washer has a persistent bad odor inside the drum and on clothes, even after washing.

Safety first: Use appropriate cleaning agents and avoid mixing chemicals (e.g., bleach and acids).

• Step 1 – Clean door seal:
  • Wipe the gasket folds with a cloth and mild detergent or a dedicated washing machine cleaner.
  • Remove visible mold and residue.
• Step 2 – Run maintenance wash:
  • Run an empty 90°C cycle with a machine cleaner or a cup of washing soda (follow product instructions).
• Step 3 – Clean detergent drawer:
  • Remove the drawer and soak it in hot water.
  • Scrub away mold and detergent buildup.
  • Clean the drawer housing as well.
• Step 4 – Improve ventilation:
  • Leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open between washes to allow drying.
• Step 5 – Check drain system:
  • Clean the pump filter and ensure there is no stagnant water.
• Repeat maintenance washes periodically to prevent recurrence.
