Hi Could the smell be from the machine itself? 200 ml of vinegar put through a 60 degree wash will clear limescale ands scum, or any of the shop bought products. Failing that, turn the machine on it's side, remove all the plumbing bits and clean out thoroughly. Horrid job. I have an ancient...

Sorry!! The motor valve is connected into the system but is open. The tank stat is disconnected. I control the temp of the water using the boiler dial. Not good I know, but YOU tell my husband!!!
