Smelly top loader




By christianasu on Nov 08, 2009

" "
smelly top loader. It stinks. The clothes don't smell, though. The smell is coming from between the porcelain bowl and the metal exterior. It realy smells terrible. I've run 2 loads of hot water with bleach through and wiped down the interior ring of the bowl, and nothing helps. How do I get between the porcelain bowl and the metal washer?

Bacteriological action is becoming more of a problem nowadays due to low temperature washing , the deteregents , wash your clothes well but do not kill off bacteria , this is generally harmless to us but can build up in your machine , giving rise to a smell and sometimes a slime which can get on your washing. A regime of High temperature washes WITH NO CLOTHES IN MACHINE , just a dose of bio-powder every six to eight weeks , may help.
