Hi there My washing machine obviously keeps on getting blocked somewhere because my washing comes out very smelly. I have lost my manual. Am I supposed to clean some part of it. I can see no simple area. Do I have to remove the back, because that seems to be a bit over the top. Please help. Many thanks. Ian
Are you using liquid detergent? this has the effect when used for long periods of making the machine smell like drains. if so, put on a boil wash with no clothes and revert to powder detergent. there is a filter which needs clearing if drain is slow.to access, remove bottom panel at back. filter is located in large pipe leading from tub to pump on the lhs. undo this pipe at the tub end and the filter is inside. some water will come out so be prepared. unplug from mains first

From clogging of the filter the pump burned out. The engineer said if you regularly wash dog bedding or anything very hairy/fluffy you should clean out the filter but it isn't very accessible.
