This is usually because of a bacteria build up on the machine. Suggested actions: Remove and thoroughly clean the soap tray. Remove the waste pipe from the drain pipe you have it poked into and ensure that all is clean and emptied. If your machine has a filter (Usually behind a 4 inch square door on the front towards the bottom of the machine if one is fitted - this depends on the machine and I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your madel). Finally, take 2 or 3 DISHWASHER TABLETS put them in the machine's drum and wash at the highest temperature that your machine will allow. Modern biological washing powder uses bacteria to break down and "eat" stains. Bacteria creates unpleasant odours. Dish Washer tablets and powder is designed to kill bacteria. Hope this helps

Simpson Esprit 650 washing machine fills very slowly.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Misc category to a better one

There is normally two reasons for this.

Turn off the water. Remove the hoses from the back of the machine and you will see a small metal gauze filter. They get blocked with limescale and debris from the water mains. You can clean them, descale them, or just buy new ones.

Or

The water inlet valve is not opening fully.

My Simpson washing machine esprit 750 only working with the small amount of clothes

Not much info to go on. Better description of what happens would help. Have you checked the belt? Maybe it is too loose.

Simpson esprit 550 agitator & spin not working properly.

Open the lid during the wash cycle and observe the agitation, you need to see exactly whats happening, If its corkscrewing instead of agitating it will wind the clothes as you described. Agitation is usually back and forth, or up and down etc, not just turning constantly in the same direction.
