Chap BLADE Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Try runing it empty on the hottest wash posssible with a bleach based washing detergent (not neat bleach) for a couple of goes These "maintemnace" washes are often recomended by the makers If the draw comes out also wash that seperately after the maint washes ,in a dishwasher is good if you have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap BLADE Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Also try flushing the visable pipes with something like white vinegaar before you run these hot washes ,ddo it every two months or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenjenning Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 You need to run the machine empty without powder and fabric softner in it every now and again to prevent the build up of products that make it go mouldy. Also check your filters. Give it all a good scrub and that should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 A run with strong (not neat!) bleach should shift most of the mould. If you're going to follow Chap BLADE's advice and if you're going to put vinegar in the machine then don't follow one treatment with the other ... leave a few 'ordinary' cycles between the Acid and Alkaline flushes.

Weathergirl Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 We used to have this problem, and had some-one out as it broke the washing machine. We now get special tablets that you put in on their on with no washing, and it gets rid of them all. Limescale and detergent purifying remover it's called.

Saffy Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Take yon tray out and put it in a bucket of bleach water over night .. and clean out the drawer with a cloth wrapped round a toothbrush .... Then .... fill up the powder drawer with soda crystals and put it on the longest, hottest wash ... After that ... put one small bottle of white vinegar in the drum and put it on the same wash ... Do this every 4 months or so and bob's yer uncle. P.S. Don't forget to put the drawer back in the following morning before running the wash cycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happylady Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Saw a piece in last week's paper. To stop smells in washers put a cup of vinegar in the drum and run on a very hot wash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
