Load come off smelly - Hotpoint Ariston Aquarius WD420 Front Load All-in-One Washer/Dryer

The odor that you are experiencing may be from the growth of mold. Inside the washer, some small pools of water may be left standing and is harboring mold spores. Even though you may operate the washer regularly, the mold spores are not being washed away.I have a couple of tips that might help to eliminate odor issues in your washing machine. First, and the most effective in my research is to, leave the lid, or door to the unit open. By leaving the door open, it promotes air circulation and evaporation of standing water. The reduction in odor, will occur quickly.

My second tip is to run the washer empty for a quick rinse cycle. Add an entire cup of bleach at the start of the cycle or vinegar. The bleach is effective at destroying organisms, such as mold and bacteria. However, running it once will not be effective. I suggest pouring another cup of bleach into the wash tub, after the cycle has completed. This will leave bleach as the standing pool and should prevent the growth of mold or bacteria. However, if you do this, before doing a load of laundry you should run an empty rinse cycle again, to avoid damage to the clothes from the bleach left standing in the unit
