Smell when cold water wash is draining

Check the drain. It SHOULD stand about as high as the washer, behind it, and it SHOULD have a trap below the floor (basement?).

If the drain's good and the trap is fine, then the pump could be borderline - it it doesn't pump all the water out, some water remaining in the washer may become stagnant and smell funky.

fill it with water on hottest wash
add a whole tub of oxy on wash

do a cycle till you get to second rinse and empty

drain
and repeat the wash add cheep thin bleech this time {not thick stuff} use the thin cheep 3L from super markets
and run thru the wash on hottest

wont smell now ...
also check your waiste system has a U bend on the outlet
needs one to stop bad water coming back to the pump

take out all plastics and wash them and soak them in bleech

When a moldy or musty smell develops in a washing machine, many times the smell is coming from the open areas of the agitator. Water along with soap and/or liquid softener sometimes splashes into an open agitator, and when the lid is closed it does not dry out. Instead, mold begins to form, and a musty smell wafts from inside the machine, even after the lid has been opened for an extended period of time. Until the mold is removed the washing machine will continue to smell bad, even if it is used and allowed to air dry with the lid open.The tub can also be the source of the smell. Lint can gather and collect in the holes, and when it does not dry fast enough it ends up smelling musty and moldy. Even the top of the rim can become moldy and musty, but proper cleaning can get rid of the odor.

So that said.To clean the machine,fill to just above the top row of holes in the tub.Add 2 cups of bleach.Let sit for 1-2 hours.Then let the machine run it`s wash cycle.Lastly use bleach water and a rag to wipe the machine down inside and out.If the agitator has a cup on top remove and clean with bleach.Leave the top open so the machine can dry.

Now it should smell better,if so use as normal,and leave the lid open when not in use.

pump is probably clogged not allowing all water to drain out. Should never see water in the tub at the end of a cycle. About once a month you should run your washer through a cycle with hot water and bleach. Doing that should keep the moldy smell down.

But the soap the bleach and the conditioner all at the same time in ther hon slot. Just make sure that u had 1/3 of conditioner that is water! to get away from the moldy smell i sai do two wash with bleach and then 2 wash with everything! just make sure u do all of them withouth clouths

run a cycle with bleach only. nothing else in it. no close or nothing. there might be a problem with your draining hoses. they might not be draining quickly enough. might i suggest you unhook them and make sure there isnt any water in them. please rate my solution

I agree with your concerns, but, unfortunatly, leaving the door open and emptying the drain trap is all you can do. I would also start washing your laundry with at least a 1/2 cup of borox with each load. This will help with the smelly cloths as well as running the monthly clean cycle or an empty express wash with only bleach.

Jeffrey is right - washing water temperature is very important. Just as important is the amount of detergent used and whether or not softener is used. The self-cleaning mode does not address the problem because it does not clean the "splash area" just above the normal waterline. Suds and soiled waters splash up and don't get rinsed out. This is invariably the area of worst buildup. To clean the splash area add 1 cap of smelly washer cleaner to a full load of laundry. The added bulk of the laundry will raise the water level to include the splash area. For more extreme problems intermittently pause to soak.

try running it throgh a cycle with nothing but hot water and bleach let set for a couple of minutes between cycles with water in it may have to do a couple of times
