Dryer produces a musty or unpleasant odour on clothes after drying.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.

Step-by-step checks:

• Clean drum: Wipe the inside of the drum with a cloth and mild detergent, then run an empty warm cycle to dry.
• Clean condenser and housing: Remove and thoroughly rinse the condenser. Clean the housing and any accessible ducts with warm soapy water and dry.
• Empty and clean water tank: Rinse the tank with a mild disinfectant solution and dry.
• Ventilation: Leave the door slightly open between uses to allow the interior to dry and prevent odour build-up.

When to call a technician: Persistent odours may indicate hidden standing water or mould in inaccessible areas that require professional cleaning.
