LG Washer makes funky smell after the cycle (REPAIR)

The reason why just washed things have an unpleasant odor hides inside the washer. During the cycle, the drain hose, drain filter or pipe may get clogged. As a result, the laundry smells unpleasant after washing. If laundry smells rotten even when using a new unit, the reason may be a violation of the rules for installing the drain hose and the penetration of aromas from the sewer directly into the device. A container for dispensing detergents without regular maintenance is quite capable of giving unwanted odors to the contents of the washing machine. The development of mold and bacteria can cause water in the drum seal. And here you are, the laundry smells damp after washing. Wipe down the rubber door gasket and drum after each laundry cycle so they are completely dry. Clean any mold on the door gasket using a small amount of undiluted bleach. Wait about 5 minutes after applying the bleach on the mold before wiping it off with a damp cloth, and then completely dry the door gasket. You may also use a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda in place of bleach. Mix about 1 quart of warm water and ¼ cup white vinegar into a bucket. Wet a cleaning rag but do not wring it out. Wipe down the inside of the drum, and then dry the drum. Leave the washer door open for about two hours after the last cycle. This allows any humidity to escape from the machine. Do not store dirty clothes in the drum until they need to be washed, especially socks, T-shirts and tea towels that smell unpleasant. Such damp storage will turn into the perfect environment for bacteria to breed. Run a wash at a temperature of 60 ° C at least once a week, so that the hot water rinses out the remains of the powder that has settled in the tub. The washing machine must be cleaned and washed regularly. Take care of your LG washer and arrange a maintenance visit every six months to run a diagnostic and clean your unit in time.
