First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Washer odor
• Start by adding 1 cup (250 mL) of bleach into the
detergent dispenser. Continue by adding 1 cup (250 mL)
of bleach directly into the wash tub. This is the only time
you should add anything other than clothing into the
wash tub. Select and run the Regular/Heavy Soil cycle
without clothing, using hot water. Repeat this process if
necessary.
• Inspect the interior of the washer for lint and other debris
that may accumulate on the basket and rubber bellows.
Remove and dispose of any accumulation as necessary.
• Leave the washer door open between cycles to allow the
washer interior to dry out.
Do you use HE or High Efficiency Detergent?
Use the following procedure without any clothing. Your
washer interior should be cleaned at least once per month to
reduce or prevent any accumulation of mold or mildew odors.
