56 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
The appliance has an
unpleasant odor.
Do you smell an odor during use?
• Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent when washing
clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and cause odors.
• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to odors. Unload
clothing promptly when the cycle ends.
• For ventless models, leave the dryer door open after drying, or use the magnetic door stop
(on some models) to keep the door slightly ajar.
• If the odor is coming from the washer, follow the instructions in the product manual to
clean the washer tub/drum.
• Keep both lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause odors. After cleaning the
lint filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.
• Periodically run the Drum Care and Condenser Care cycles following the instructions in
the MAINTENANCE section.
