James Generally speaking European machines don't have a maintenance cycle at all....and none of the handbooks until very recently (if now at all!) will even talk about it.
Basically, if you are:
- using a powdered detergent; - generally doing warm or hot (40-60c) washes; and - not heavy on fabric conditioner....
...you won't need to do one...EVER
On the other hand......if you:
- use a liquid; - wash at cooler temperatures (30c - cold) without ever using 60c; and - are a heavy fabric conditioner user.....
....then you may need to do one every couple of months. Just select the longest, hottest programme and use a 1/2 scoop of powdered detergent.....no clothes.
If your machine has no offensive odour, that is, it smells very faintly of washing powder or 'clean', or obvious mould in the door boot, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about. | ||

me i mostly wash in cold water and use liquid detergents as well as liquid fabric softner from time to time and i never needed to do a maitnance cleaning cycle on my washer. and if i had to do one it would be with afresh tabs or tide cleaner or half a cup of white vinegar in the water in the tub to clean the washer.

Would I have to do a maintenance wash if... I wash at 40 to 60 degrees C and only use fabric condtioner for things like towels but use liquid detergents (putting them in a dosing ball in the drum)? | ||
