Laundry/washing machine smells unpleasant

The laundry or washing machine smells unpleasant.

The washing machine is dirty.

In order to prevent germs and unpleasant odours building up in the washing machine, run the Maintenance wash or Cottons programmes at maximum temperature.

Make sure that you wash at a temperature of at least 60 °C at least once a month.

The wet laundry is left in the drum for a long time with the door closed.

Remove the laundry immediately after the end of the programme.

Use the delay start (if available) to prevent longer idle times.

The door and the detergent drawer were closed after washing.

Leave the door and the detergent drawer slightly open to allow them to dry.

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.
