Washer-dryer emits a strong musty or moldy odor from the drum or door area.

Safety first: Use gloves and ensure good ventilation when using cleaning agents.

• Run a maintenance wash: Run an empty 60–90°C cotton cycle with a washing machine cleaner or 1–2 cups of white vinegar (check Teka manual for compatibility).
• Clean door seal: Wipe the gasket folds with a cloth soaked in mild detergent or diluted bleach. Remove visible mold and residue.
• Clean detergent drawer: Remove and scrub the drawer and housing to eliminate slime and mold.
• Leave door open: After each use, leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open to allow drying.

Warning: Do not mix bleach with vinegar or other cleaners; dangerous fumes can form.
