Laundry/washer-dryer smells unpleasant

The laundry or washer-dryer smells unpleasant.

Washer-dryer is soiled.

Run a 95 °C wash programme and add some machine cleaner.

Make sure that you wash at a temperature of at least 75 °C at least once a month.

Do not use colour detergent or liquid detergent all the time. Alternatively, add bleaching agent regularly.

Unfamiliar detergents may produce a different odour.
Using unfragranced detergents, soap nuts or mechanical alternatives to detergent may cause the washer-dryer or laundry to smell unpleasantly.

Try a different detergent.

The incorrect amount of detergent was dispensed.

Check the detergent amount dispensed. The dispensing quantity will depend on the degree of soiling of the laundry, load size and water hardness.

Use dispensing aids (e.g. dispenser balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.

The incorrect dispensing quantity has been set for automatic detergent dispensing.

Check the basic dispensing quantity.
