machine is actually the Hoover AL 120 - a front-loader like the 130. Have run two 95-deg washes without clothes through (2nd with som edettol) bu tsmell persists. Suspect it's bacteria. Shuld I use bleach? With hot water? How?

- I ended up running vinegar through and bleach and soda crystals (all SEPARATELY, note - God knows what would happen if you put them all in together & heated them to 95deg!!). It took a few goes but worked. The key thing, if you don't use v hot washes frequently is to run a service wash once a month (just soap powder at 90+ deg, no actual laundry). If there is a smell you will have to use one or more of the above remedies. An important tip (to avoid bacteria build-up) - keep the door open when not in use. (If you have small pets, this will mean checking inside before bunging a load of laundry in & shutting the door!)
Hoover's own website was v useful (sorry can't remember the url)
Does it the first time you have this bad smell and for how long do you use this machine in its cuurent location ? Try to run an empty machine cycle with a quart of vinegar to clean the tub and pump. Let me know if it solve your problem ? Good luck !

Door closes but lock light doesn't come on. It won't take in water or spin but if I start another part of the cycle (e.g pump out) it works. Problem has been intermittent for some time but now it's permanent. Could this be the door interlock and, if I buy one, how do I fit it? Thanks.
