Well, to be specific, it's either the motor brushes or the belt, but in either case its had a good innings.

As mentioned, run a boil wash with a capful of bleach in there. Ours does it all the time and unless we wash everything at 60 degrees it starts making our clothes stink.

Both are usually pretty easy, if fiddly, to change.

The last wash seemed ok. Whether that was due to airing the machine or leaving the clothes outside I dunno.

Mark · 11-09-2009, 17:34

Both, probably.

I may have found the problem. This machine has never been cleaned. I took the tray out and its dirty but not as bad as the tray drawer. Ew its bad. Gunna clean that out and do an empty wash.

That'll probably be it then. Good plan. Hot wash would obviously be best - environment be damned!

Yer and its not like I'm doing them every day. This is simply to really clean it. God knows what the previous guy smelt like if he never bothered cleaning this.

Grr. Still not easy to do this whole washing thing. To get something like my big thick jumper dry I'd have to wash it at about 7am and leave it to dry all day. I left it out for about 6 hours last night but the armpits are a bit smelly due to being damp. I may have to use the dryer facility on my washer as I needed it for tomorrow. That begs the question. Do I need anything special to do that? Softer? Bounce? Ideally I don't want to turn my favourite jumper into ashes and I'm going out at 7am tomorrow so I only get one chance or I'm wearing clothes I perhaps should have also washed... doh.

Does it say you can tumble dry it? If it does, then just check it lots, like every 5 mins or so. Or if you have to select a time then have it on the lowest one and just keep an eye on it.
