Machine running cold. Not going into spin without having to do manually. When in spin drum is uneven & noisy. Clothes don't smell cleaned & smells of old water. When opening to put a wash on, drum smells of old water. Help please. Thank you & look forward to hearing from you very soon (I hope). Lisa

DO NOT mix Clorox and vinegar together. You will end up with a cloud of toxic chlorine gas. Running Clorox, rinsing, then running vinegar might help, but definitely not at the same time. That will make for a very bad day !

IMPORTANT: Read thoroughly. DO NOT add detergent or other laundry products to this cycle.
1. Remove all items from the washer.
2. Open the dispenser drawer and 2/3 cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. DO NOT use more than 2/3 cup (160mL) of bleach per cycle as this will lead to product damage.
3. Close the washer door and dispenser drawer.
4. Select the Clean Washer cycle or a full wash cotton 104 F wash (40 C). DO NOT use any higher temperature as this will cause unnecessary fumes
5. Press Start and allow cycle to complete.
6. If the bad odour persists, repeat the procedure 1 or 2 more times. This may be necessary if this is the first time you have run this cycle.
7. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to allow ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
8. Repeat the cleaning procedure monthly.
To maintain the washer freshness:
1. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
2. Leave the door open after each cycle to for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
3. Use warm / hot water in your machine unless the fabric you are washing requires cold.
4. Use the correct amount of fabric softener.
5. If your laundry room is damp, use a dehumidifier.
6. Clean the door seal of visible residue.

this might be coming from the rubber door seal clean it all the way round make sure holes at bottom are not blocked and the rubber door seal is all clean. also clean the draw so there is no power left in there and it is all clean. also a good thing to do is run it though a cleaning cycle with normal detergent at max temperature that the machine can do. hope this helps.

Usually answered in minutes!
hi thanks for getting back to me, unfortunately we've already done that and its still not working. any other suggestions gladly accepted. many thanks
The hoses to the pump could be partially blocked. Also try to observe the pump rotating and spin the impeller by hand. The other thing is that the inlet screen on the water hose can be blocked - this happens about once a year with my machine - I take it off and blow it out backwards to clear it and rinse it in the laundry tub.
pdqsailor, all of the above done with no resolve, thanks again, from despairing.com
Does the pump function electrically and mechanically?
Also does the water level sensor function?
hi, done some more investigations after removing various places & found a couple of bits which could be of interest but nothing I could say would cause this. Previously the water level wasn't visable at all, but I've just done another load and the water level was as it should be.....hooray, but I still had to manually put into spin as it gets to 1 minute to the end of the cycle but has not rinsed or spun so I have to manually turn the dial to rinse & spin. Also the water is still cold, could the element be the issue for that? really grateful
