My clothes washer was in storage for a year...?

and the clothes are not smelling clean after I wash them. They smell very musty and mildewy. What can I do to wash out the smell? I've run a hot load of bleach and detergent, and it didn't work. It's only 2 years old! Can it be saved?





BTW - I've been doing laundry every day for a month, and it's not getting better.My clothes washer was in storage for a year...?
Buy new water hoses and replace the old. also most washers have a lint filter if you can find where it is it probably has some of the old lint in it, remove it, and run a empty load again. Good luck! all else fails call your repair man.My clothes washer was in storage for a year...?
Every washer has places where they trap water, One place is on top of the tub in that plastic ring thats fastened there, also some machines hold some water in the pump. The only thing that might work is to lay it on it,s back for a few days and maybe it will drain out.
The odor is probably coming from the rubber gasket in the washer. Add some Pine Sol or an ammonia based cleaner, like Mr. Clean or Top Job, to a clean damp cloth, then clean the gasket well. Then wipe out the inside of the washer with the same cleaners.
You need to run your washer using a cleanser only - no clothes. Run it first using hot water and Arm%26amp;Hammer baking soda. Then run it a second time using plenty of white vinegar. You may want to put the cleansers in the rinse cycle as well as the wash. These two cleaners SHOULD get rid of the odor.
try spraying it w/ febreeze %26amp; let it sit for awhile
Maybe it is the hoses? Try replacing them.





Try baking soda
You're on the right track; chlorine bleach is the right chemical to kill mold and mildew. You're probably just not using enough for long enough. Start the cycle with the lowest level of the hottest water you can. Pour in an entire bottle of chlorine bleach. (A small bottle should do; a gallon would probably be overkill.) Turn the machine off for an hour and let the bleach mixture sit. Then resume the cycle so it rinses out. Follow with a water-only rinse.
