-Washing machine smells like sewage
-Washing machine smells like rotten eggs
-Washing machine smells damp
-Washing machine smells bad after wash
-Washing machine smells bad
-Washing machine smells moldy

At How-to repair, we care about our planet!! Before throwing away your washing machine as you think it’s not worth the effort, please just listen to this first Two minutes before clicking off this video and running to buy a new machine.
The appliance industry is responsible for a lot of global warming due to built-in obsolescence this is not a well-known fact and is designed to make you consume more machines to make the companies more money. However, sometimes we are also at fault as well, as was the story on this washing machine thrown away as it smelt a little and did not look pretty anymore.

we have been leaving the door and draw open on our washing machine ever since we got it (3 years ago) and i have to say it really does make a difference it’s never had mould once it looks like new and it’s always had a nice clean smell. compared to when we had our old one that one was very mouldy as we always kept it all shut and it really did have an unpleasant smell. this is a very useful video indeed 👍

We purchased our front load whirlpool washer and dryer about 3.5 years ago. I’ve typically just done tub clean cycles using afresh tabs thinking that was sufficient. Just a few days ago I looked more in depth at the washer and was stunned by the amount of dirt and black mold that had accumulated in the rubber door seal. This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for for in depth cleaning and maintenance. Thank you for putting together a thorough video explaining how to tackle this project, your time and efforts are well appreciated!

Addressing this issue of no longer being able to repair machines (from cars to all appliances etc, etc) is seldom being discussed much less helping us do as much as we still can--and initiate and support governmental regualtions to reverse this movement by corporate entities.

Wow I have watched 20+ tutorials for our Samsung washing machine trying to figure out how to deep clean it and remove the lime scale and mold/mildew build up because it’s ruining our clothes! I use the washer’s self cleaning option and several different washer cleaners regularly and still the hard water and family laundry have destroyed this machine’s ability to function well in just a couple years. Soooo grateful for this video - I have hope that I can save the washer without having to replace it. Thank you!!!

Valuable, valuable video. I hope to use this to clean my uncle’s washer (I’m temporarily living with him). It has mold, gets a smell particularly after any kind of warm or hot water wash, and has gunk built up like mud between the drum barrel and door seal. It clogs even the drainage holes in the door seal rubber. Nasty stuff. My uncle-an engineer-has treated the mold and moisture issue as a just a design flaw. He does the recommended maintenance tips given at the end (minus the dishwasher tablets and rags with a boil cycle). Also, the model he has does not have an easy access to even a filter that could be cleaned from the front. Yeah. I’m gonna ask If I can take two days to do all of this maintenance on his washer. If he has never done any kind of cleaning like this on the washer-and I’m gonna advocate about the dirty mud and mold that gets on my clothes, and just flat out mold exposure-to see if this is an option we can try. I’m sure he would be happy with the cost effective solution versus purchasing anything new. As long as he does not say no for the reason of “I’m fine the way it is.”

My samsung is 9 years old and I have the privledge of living in a beautiful and genreally hot part of Australia, but even so the seal finally started sheding crud on to the clothes even after ensuring the soap draw and cabinet are never left closed. Followed the steps and the maachine is as good as new. Thanks so much.

I am weirdly looking forward to giving it all a good clean 🤣

This is a brilliant video from a very experienced & knowledgeable engineer. The explanation was slow (great) and well-structured to follow. Anyone can follow it to help save the CO2 footprint in buying a new machine. Wish I saw this video before as I had to throw a molded seal for a new one. I did clean it with white Vinegar and bicarbonate soda and it did not work. We do leave the door and soap box open after every wash but the same problem on my Bosch machine appeared. Cloths getting mold on them. So this time, I have followed the video and cleaned all the pipes, soap box, and door seal. Today I have submerged every item in a bleach solution and will check the result tomorrow. I added two 750 ml of bleach and added warm water to bring it to some level to enable submerging the items. One question is that should I have just submerged the items in raw bleach or would the solution I have prepared do, as it is not clear in the video.

Thank you so much for this! I need this today as my washing came out smelling so I need to do a good deep clean with it. I also love the mentality that we need to repair and try and prevent waste when things just need a little work to fix. My sister always gets rid of things when they just need a good clean, it drives me mad.

Thank you so much for all the tips. I’m not sure I can pull my apart but I’ll certainly do the boil wash. I’ve use the dish detergent to clean mine frequently.

TYSM. I was given an awesome washer by a sweetheart but they bought it off someone else and didn't know to check for anything. They know now. The front loading washer was left in storage wet and clearly evident never properly maintained or even cleaned. Full of debris, mold and even what looked like a dryer sheet smh filter was disgusting and over full. Unfortunately I'm not only allergic to mold I have asthma. I cleaned the filter, dispenser drawer and tried to clean the seal. I ran a self cleaning mode with a powdered cleaning solution specifically for getting to everything. Worked except for the door seal. Problem is because of my allergy to mold and my asthma I had respiratory issues for 2 days after. I came here to see how to safely and properly take the seal off so I can soak it and can't thank you enough. At least now I have a method to clean the seal, which is the main mold problem area, and will help me get this done quickly so I don't have to go into another episode. So, thank you again 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely brilliant - thank you so much for all your knowledge. The amount of videos I have seen which don't even get close to this level of clean - I kept wondering how they were actually truly cleaning all the inner workings. Really looking forward to cleaning tomorrow 👍

I'm really glad I watched your video. I tried to do something similar before with dishwasher tablets but it didnt work. However, I thought ile give it another try. I used 3 tablets & put the machine on a boil wash, but also raised the water levels up higher in the drum as was suggested. My machine now smells as fresh as a daisy. Thank you.
