Hi, I recently purchased a 6 year old condo and along with it the Frigidaire Affinity front load washer. As soon as I moved into my condo, I noticed a petrol like smell coming out of the washer. I really appreciate if anyone could let me know as to how I could get rid of this smell.
The result of cool water temperatures and milder detergents, is a buildup of oil and grease in the machine, which produces oily smells in the laundry. Grease and oil can take many forms, ranging from automotive lubricants to greasy foods to oily toiletry items, and, over a period of time, these oils can accumulate and become trapped in various parts of the machine, particularly in the door seal of front-loading machines.
Run an empty cycle with HOT water and a detergent that contains bleach to remove grease and oil from the appliance. However, be sure to use bleach designed specifically for laundry, as opposed to using regular bleach. ie OxyClean. and or a cup of vinegar.
Best to you.
