Clothes smell of mold...when not use after 1 to 2 day the washer smells of mold more..

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France @ 18:17 Sun evening.

I do not know your particular washer but here are 3 things to do-

1) check to see if your washer's waste water pipe shares a sink's plumbing- quite common. If so suspect bad smells from the sink's u-tube rather than direct from the washer. Use a drain cleaner anyway even if it doesn't share and NO, I do not earn commision!!!

REMOVE POWER AND HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE AND/OR RAGS AT HAND!

2) check, and clean if necessary, the machine's lint tray/filter in case that is the source. Do that regularly anyway- I do it about every 3 months providing I remember - or my wife reminds me!
If you are unaware where the filter is it is (normally) found behind the lower front cover which is normally held in place by some plastic screws, removed by turning 90 degrees anticlockwise. The filter cover/cap is also turned anticlockwise to remove. The filter may or may not come out with the cap- if not gently persuade it out. At the same time it is possible to see and check that the drain motor is able to be turned easily by hand/finger.

3) another regular task- run the contents of proprietary anticalc sachets through the machine. Again I try to do that every 3 months- we are in a particularly 'hard' water area.

One, or all, of these suggestions should cure your problem- I hope!

Good luck,
John C
