There's nothing worse than opening the door to your washing machine and being affronted by an unpleasant, stagnant odour. To stop your washing machine smelling you need to understand the source of the problem. Nasty smells in your washing machine are caused by a combination of mould, mildew and bacteria. Today we will learn how to check the source off smelling in washer Carrier MWMFL060CPR.
First of all, you need to clean the washer. To clean the washing machine inside and out simply remove parts, such as the detergent tray and soak with bicarbonate of soda before scrubbing with a toothbrush,and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Сleaning the door seal after every wash. When you run a cycle, detergent, dirt, debris and residue may get left behind. When you leave the waste for a long time, it can allow mould and bacteria to grow.
If you’ve cleaned the machine and there’s still smell, it might be coming from the sewer. If the p-trap for your washing machine is dry, it can’t trap the gasses and your washing machine/laundry room will smell like sewer. And the same is true if the p-trap or the drain hose connecting the machine to the p-trap was not correctly installed. If lint, hair, soap, or dirt create a partial stoppage in the line, eventually bacteria grows on the stoppage and you have a sewer smell on your hands. Left unattended, this stoppage will build on itself causing more odors and possible backups.
You could also have a clogged vent pipe. Just like the other pipes in your home, the standing pipe for your washing machine also has a vent pipe. Vent pipes allow air to enter the system so water can flow through them and for sewer gasses to escape out of your house, usually through the roof. So if this pipe is clogged, sewer gasses have nowhere to go but back into your home.
