Washer-dryer combo has a persistent musty or moldy odor inside the drum.

Safety first: Use appropriate cleaning agents and ensure good ventilation when running cleaning cycles.

• Run a drum clean: Run an empty hot wash (90°C if available) with a washing machine cleaner or 1–2 cups of white vinegar to kill bacteria and mold.
• Clean door seal: Wipe the Fisher & Paykel door gasket folds with a cloth and mild detergent or diluted bleach solution. Remove any visible mold or slime.
• Clean dispenser drawer: Remove the detergent drawer and scrub away residue and mold. Clean the housing as well.
• Leave door open: After each use, leave the door and dispenser drawer slightly open to allow the interior to dry.
• Repeat regularly: Perform a maintenance wash monthly to prevent odor build-up.
