Hey
I'm sorry can't help you with the detergent drawer problem as you've cleaned the detergent drawer, I usually use cocktail sticks to clean the holes to ensure its thoroughly clean. My mum once bought comfort (blue skies) 5 litre bottle and that was when we got the LG steam so it couldn't have been anything to do with our clothes or the washing machine. Every wash smelt stale/unpleasant, worse than it went in, even new clothes had the same problem. I changed the conditioner to Lenor which we had stocked in the cupoboard and voila no stale/unpleasant smells so we stopped using that particular comfort and had to get rid of it. We have boght comfort since and have had no problems. I would suggest try changing conditioner, maybe that could be the problem as it was in our case. All the best |

I've had this problem quite recently.
There is a removable plastic piece that sits over the syphon tube. If you take that out and look inside, mine was full of congealed fabric conditioner and was blocking up. Try washing the whole drawer in a bowl of hot soapy water and cleaning any narrow areas with a cocktail stick or a cotton bud and see how you get on. As for the smell, I'd certainly recommend cleaning out behind the detergent dispenser, draining the pump and cleaning that out and also running the machine empty on a boil wash, maybe with some of that Oust descaler for washing machines in. Be sure to let us know how you get on :) |
