Please help, my washing machine still makes my clothes smell after a cycle. I have tried the tablets both in the drawer and the drum but nothing works, any ideas?

Smelly machines are almost always due to mould growth inside the drum, and on the rubber gasket ( door seal). There isn't any easy solution either, once its in there it's a pain to get it out. A boil wash with no laundry inside the machine may help a bit but the only way to really get rid of the smell is to strip the machine down, and steam clean the whole of the outer drum, hoses,seals and everything else that's contaminated.
And when you get it clean ( or buy a new one ) Make sure you ALWAYS leave the door Wide open when your machine is not in use.......
And do a boil wash every now and again ( no Laundry in machine )
