Even though I use a washing powder renowned for its fragrance my clothes dont get the smell on them when washed. why is this

Not the machine, stop using liquid soap. put machine through a cleaning cycle using a product like affresh.

hi there is a build up of lime and old dirt in the inside of your drum the best thing to get rid of the smell is put a very small amount of bleach in the drum and put your machine on a very hot wash it will help in your hand book it will tell you to use your hot wash with a bit of powder and no cloths at leased once a month i dont know if you use your hottest wash most people dont these days because of the low temp powders, also the best product to use is lim away but you can only get it on usa bases or from the usa you might find someone on line that sells it that will get rid of all the lime thats been built up in your machine if you cant just use a bit of thick bleach hope this was helpful

Hello
What did the guys say the did the service on your washer? I recommend you add 3 scoops of dishwasher powder and set your washers temp to 90 deg and let it run the problem is that your clothes washing powder dose not remove any build up or smell.
Thanks

Bacteriological action is becoming more of a problem nowadays due to low temperature washing , the deteregents , wash your clothes well but do not kill off bacteria , this is generally harmless to us but can build up in your machine , giving rise to a smell and sometimes a slime which can get on your washing. A regime of High temperature washes WITH NO CLOTHES IN MACHINE , just a dose of bio-powder every six to eight weeks , may help.

What does it smells like

this could be one of three things:

are you using different washing powder i.e. non bio. sometimes these extra soft washing powders can make your clothes smelly if left for more than a couple of hours.

are you connected to water mains or a well. well water often contain manganese and iron which can discolour and leave a smell too.

last it could be the wash programme cutting short.

boil wash the machine with old towels and powder, 90 degree wash will bring out the bleach in the powder and the old towels will throw the bleach around the tub removing the bacteria that has grown in the tub, the bacteria comes from the washing powder to eat the dirt in clothes and sometimes gets left in the tub and pipes (most people only wash at 40 degrees the bleach wont come out the powder until at least 60 degrees hence the build up and smell). you may have to do this twice to get it smelling good, remove the drawer also and clean off any bacteria with a cloth and spray bleach.

Dont !! Try doing a hot wash with a good dose of Washing Soda Crystals and no clothes (An empty washer not a visit to a nudist colony). Also go back to Old Fashioned Soap Powder for a while. Cold wash powders and low teperature washes do not dissolve the fats which are washed out of the clothes and they build up causing the smells. Old fashioned powders had some bleach and soda in them which kept the problem at bay

Find out where your filter is; it is at the end of the thick hose coming down from the bottom of your tub; open up and clean out. Another possibility is there could be something stuck in your drum, feel if you could locate it. Next clean out the hoses in machine. After all this flush out with a hot wash, without clothes. People shd ask the service man where the filter is. If he knows that is.......................It gives you the biggest problem if you dont check.

It sounds like a build up of washing residue. Clean inside the door seal and do a very hot wash with a bit of washing powder and no clothes. Repeat this once a week until smell has gone.
