Washer-dryer produces a strong mouldy or musty smell from the drum and during drying.

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning internal parts.

• Run maintenance wash: Run an empty 90°C cycle with a washing machine cleaner or white vinegar (check Bush manual for compatibility) to kill bacteria and remove residue.
• Clean door seal: Wipe the seal folds with a cloth and mild detergent, removing black mould and slime. Ensure drain holes are clear.
• Clean detergent drawer: Remove the drawer and scrub away mould and detergent build-up. Clean the housing as well.
• Dry drum after use: Leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open between uses to allow ventilation.
