Simpson 165 is putting soft brown mould on clothes?

I had a similar problem with my machine and was told by the service dept. that it was a build-up from fabric softener.  It also had an unpleasant smell.  I cleaned the machine thoroughly and scaped out the buildup which was inside the container where I added the conditioner at the start of each wash.  I don't use conditioner anymore and the problem hasn't recurred.
