    LG Thin Q Inverter Direct Drive Washing Machine

    We have had our washing machine for 4 years and it’s recently stopped making our clothes smell nice. Our clothes just come out smelling wet but with no nice smell to them.
    I have done several tub cleans to try that, I have cleaned the drawer and the door seal and I have cleaned the filter and drained the water.

    We were using the pods but thought it may have been them so now tried the powder and that’s not working either so we’re really not sure what to do?

    Anyone heard of this before? And know how we can get our clothes back to smelling nice please?

    These are long, sorry, but they will explain it as it sounds very much like the inside of your machine is coated in what they label biofilm, mentioned in the news article on the second link:

    Essentially, once it starts, what you describe is usually the result.
