Right, which one of you was responsible for the washing machine maintenance wash thread?

[ohbugrit]

I did one (peer pressure) and my previously perfectly happy machine now reeks! Even soda crystals haven't rectified it :(

have you cleaned out the filter and the drawer? There was a thread with the very same problem yesterday

do it again, just with hot water.

scrub out the rubber door seal and the powder drawer, and clean the filter.

does the waste hose connect to the kitchen sink waste?
