SHARP ES-GD75B Washer/Tumble Combo – Dirty washing

[CooganCos]

Hi there,

Hope you can help. I bought this machine from new a few weeks ago.

Washing comes out smelling like feet and whites are dirty. Pretty sure its the tumble part of the cycle that is causing this, although can’t be certain. I had no manual so don’t know where anything is. Just downloaded one and under troubleshooting it wasn’t helpful.

There’s no filter to remove lint as such, which can’t be right and guessing the lint is going back in? Not getting any warnings to clean anything. At a loss. Can you help?

I do not know this model as it will be to new to me BUT as a general rule of thumb do the following: get a bottle of liquid lemon flash ( £2.00 ) and a washing machine descaler. Set m/ch on 60 degrees or higher, add descaler crystals ( Aqua Softna is the best ) and pour 2 or 3 CAP fulls of lemon Flash ( if you have a domestic water softerner use 1 cap ) over the crystals in the main wash compartment of the soap dispenser and then start the machine with no oap power and no clothes, and let it go to the end / finish. Most of the bacteria that causes the smell should be nuked. However since your machine is a washer dryer there could be aload of rotting lint in its condenser unit which is mostly above the water line. If this is the case you`ll have to dismantle the condenser from the machine and clean out all the crap / lint – there is no other way other than physically cleaning by hand this condenser out and no amount of fooling around with chemicals will solve the problem should it be blocked up there. The condenser is usually a white semi transparent moulded chamber that goes from the dryer fan to the back of the tank unit in case you did not know. Can be tricky to do on some machines,but power off, and, err, don`t break anything in the process!!!

Hi

Wherever you purchased this from “a few weeks ago” it should have come with the manual.

If the machine you purchased is an ESGD75W you first off need to register for your five year parts and labour guarantee on this site http://www.warrantysolutions.co.uk/shar … /index.php

Once registered I would not put any additives in as previously suggested but would log a call for a service engineer to visit to check out the smell assuming your waste pipe/ trap etc is nice and clean.
