After 6 months of vinegar, chlorine/vinegar and misc attempts to source the problem, I am looking for more specific causes of this smell. Pump obviously works, clothes are spun dry properly, it is used so much that water in hoses isn't the issue?
What else could it be?
any help would be appreciated.
you may need to clean the filter on your machine. it is possible that it is behind a screw in 'key' behing a small flap on the machine body, this flap is often at the front of the machine at floor level. the filter will be blocked and will stink really bad, you have been warned!!!! good luck with it!! if you can let me know, pls do
