I washed out bath mat this morning and did a short ten minute spin cycle to get the excess water out as it was still pretty wet and afterwards, the machine, the room and the bath mat all smelt strange-like a cross between a drain smell and a burnt smell.
I rarely use the spin cycle but it’s never done this before.
Now I’m not sure what to do! Do I try the machine on a normal cycle to see what happens? Is it likely to burst into flames on me?! Do I ring a domestic goods engineer and ask for advice before using it? Will they charge me?!
