Terrible smell coming from our washing machine




By lesley_dunn on Nov 04, 2009

" "
Whenever we open the door to the washing machine there is a dreadful smell coming from the drum.
I have to keep the door closed between washes (the dog chewed the rubber seal on the last machine) but I always dry round the seal and the drum after every wash. I do at least one wash every day so I don't understand why there is this smell every time.
Have tried Washing Machine Cleaning product but didn't make any difference

remove bottom cover at back of machine, loosen large jubilee clip on hose between drum and pump. pull hose down and off, take out strainer basket and pull top off, clean top, ball and basket by running under tap. clean out hose with an old rag. reassemble strainer and put back into hose, in the correct position. fix hose back on to drum and tighten clip. run machine on a hot wash and all should be fine.
