I have had my Zanussi Aquacycle 1000 XC washing machine for many years and it hasnt given me a pick of bother.
Till now,
For about 6 months I noticed that my clothes never smelt quite as fresh as they used to.
i thought it was how I was drying them, so became fanatical about making sure they didnt overlap and have plenty of room to dry. Ive changed my washing powder and softener many, many times now including the type with Febreeze in. Im not 100% sure if the clothes are coming out quite as spotless as well. I dont really get my things that dirty but have noticed that some marks havnt come off in the wash.
On the whole my clothes look ok when I pull them out and theres the smell of the detergent but not massively a strong smell of it and after theyve dried the detergent smell is virtually gone and I can smell a faintly musky like smell like they were damp and folded away.
The machine itself still runs great. Turns on, goes through its cycle, no funny noises and Ive emptied and washed the filter too.
Its just the clothes dont smell too fresh anymore.
Any ideas anyone???
Can I also add that Ive removed and washed the detergent drawer and am just about to throw a few towels in without detergent on a hot wash.
