This was an email I recently sent to an existing customer whom we repaired a bosch washer for and consulted on a Bosch Dishwasher problem

Thank you for your email,
as your guy said it’s bacteria which is caused by stagnant water, but can also be limescale build up which traps the bacteria.
Every time you do a wash limescale can break off & release the bacteria.
Watch this old video I made back in 2010( bit cheesy lol, but valuable content)
plus leave the door open on washer at least 1 inch or so after every wash to allow it to dry inside!
If you have any more issues, please email me back or text me…text is best or a call… I am not always efficient with email, but getting better!
Yours positively

Ps some people use a bit of bleach on a wash as an alternative to white vinegar!

Key Points of video are

  1. 1-2 litres of white vinegar
  2. Turn Washer onto 60-90 degree wash (without prewash/rinse)
  3. Pour white vinegar carefully into soap draw after it fills (only open draw about an inch, a funnel could help)
  4. Let machine finish, Then leave door open at least an inch(do this everywash)
  5. Hopefully the nasty niffs should be gone.

So what causes a washer / washing machine to be smelly

  • the pump can not drain all water away, so some gets left behind & goes stagnant
  • washers use less water but people still use same amount of soap & conditioner & the appliance gets caked up with residue & goes moody especially with door closed.
  • limescale traps bacteria and can break off during wash cycle

Smelly Washer Preventative key points

  • Use Soda crystals / Calgon
  • Do a hot service washer with towels(once a month)
  • leave the door open, so it can dry & gets rid of humidity.
  • wipe door & washer seal after every wash, prevent black mould build up!

            Frequently Asked Questions

            How much will my repair cost?

            This depends on fault, however we charge  £35 for diagnosis (if we can diagnose with 100% certainty, if not it's free & we will walk away).

            The diagnosis charge is taken off of our standard charge not added too!  So you will either pay our standard labour which includes all labour, all visits & diagnosis or you will pay just the diagnosis charge.

             

            What are my payment options?

            We accept most payment types with our new Chip & Pin plus Cheques, BACs & Paypal.

            Payment types

            What if my machine is not viable to repair?

            Washing Machine doesn't drain?

            Please first check your drainage filter on the bottom of the washer. There could be debris such as coins stuck which can cause malfunction. If there is no blockage or the problems still persist when removed call Appliance Repairman and we will come and get your machine draining again.

            Washing Machine isn't spinning?
