Solutions
Smell comes from the rubber
y
attached to the washer door. It will
eventually dissipate after first couple
of wash cycles.
Periodically clean the gasket. Mold
y
and foreign substances inside the
gasket may produce mildew or musty
smells.
Clean the drain pump filter regularly.
y
Foreign substances on the drain
pump filter may produce mildew or
musty smells.
If the drain hose is not installed
y
properly, the odor may be emitted
because of a backflow of drainage
into the tub. Make sure that the drain
hose is not kinked or clogged.
