The washer smells. Towels come out smelling sour. what can i do?

try running a cycle with Oxiclean. Then leave the lid open to dry out.

Hi,
I can't be sure without looking at the machine but I have had several of these type of machines the get cloths under the agitator "wash plate thing" in the bottom of the basket. This will eventually clog up the pump but stuff that hangs out in there can really get to smelling after a while. Try removing the wash plate and see if you see anything under there. In the future make sure you use a lingerie bag for all small items to prevent them from getting stuck under the wash plate.

I started adding 1 cap of bleach with 1 cup of water to all my loads in the bleach dispenser and this stopped the smell problem with my sweaty clothes.Sour towels i fixed with using Win high performance sports detergent plus my usual dose of he detergent along with a 2nd rinse.Keep the lid open when not in use always.

I found a 50/50 solution of vinegar and warm water will generally do the trick.

If you have a front loader it will hold water around the seal of the door and after time it will mold and start to smell.

Until you can find the filter (I'll investiate!) I suggest running it on hot hottest wash you can (empty) with just bleach. That at least should kill the bacteria that are causing the smell

Sears has tablets for front load washers that work great. I use one every month and it has helped the stinky washer smell and the bad smell in the clean clothes. It is called Affresh and it works better than any of the cleaners you can buy in the grocery stores.

beni lo siguiente mi secadora ya no cumple su funcion la ropa sale precticamente mojada y puede estar unos 40 minutos funcionando

washers and dryers dont make smells themselves its a problem with something u might be putting in it. if u tend to add alot more detergent then usual to your towels then they never completely rinse the water out and will have a mildew smell
