Dryer has a musty or mouldy smell that transfers to clothes.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.

• Empty and clean water tank: Remove the condensate tank and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean condenser and sump: Remove the condenser and flush with hot water. Wipe out the sump area with a mild disinfectant solution, avoiding electrical parts.
• Run a hot maintenance cycle: With the drum empty, run a high-temperature cycle to help dry and sanitise internal surfaces.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure the dryer has adequate space around it for air circulation to reduce moisture build-up.
