Symptoms
Odor
42
Reason
This odor is caused by the rubber
attached to the washing machine.
If the rubber door gasket and
door seal area are not cleaned
regularly, odors can occur from
mold or foreign substances.
Odors can occur if foreign
substances are left in the
drainage pump filter.
Odors can occur if the drainage
hose is not properly installed,
causing siphoning (water
flowing back inside the washing
machine).
Using the dry function, odors can
occur from lint and other laundry
matter sticking to the heater.

A particular odor can occur from
drying wet clothes with hot air.

Solution
• It is the normal odor of new rubber and
will disappear after the machine has been
run a few times.
• Be sure to clean the gasket and door
seal regularly and check under the door
seal for small items when unloading the
washer.
• Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter
regularly.
• When installing the drainage hose, be
sure that it doesn't become kinked or
blocked.
• This is not a malfunction.
• The odor will disappear after a short
while.
