Musty or moldy smell on clothes after drying

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.

• Clean condenser and sump: Remove the condenser and wash thoroughly. If accessible, clean the sump area where water collects using warm soapy water and a cloth.
• Empty and clean tank: Rinse the water tank with a mild disinfectant solution and dry before refitting.
• Run hot cycle empty: After cleaning, run a high‑temperature cycle with the drum empty to help dry and deodorize the interior.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure the dryer has adequate space around it for air circulation.
