#3 What can I do if my washing machine smells strange?
If the washing machine smells strange, we recommend that you do not use household cleaners. The accumulation of odors in the laundry and washing machine can have various causes. For example, if you wash frequently at low temperatures or use an incorrect amount of detergent. You should therefore wash regularly at 60°C or higher and use the correct dosage of detergent. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding dosage and amount of wax.
Another reason for residual odors in the washing machine may be that water is not draining. Check the machine's water supply, drain hose and drain pump. The odor can also come from the water supply or a blocked drainage system.
In addition, we recommend using the washing machine cleaner tested by Bosch. This way you can remove unpleasant odors and prevent them from arising in the future.
