Mouldy Zanussi

I rented a property with an FJS1425W jetsystem XC that looked just like that.

I spied on a viewing that the previous tenants were using cheap non-bio liquid on the 30c quick wash and shutting the door after unloading (they were getting the washing out when we were viewing, thats the programme it was set on and the door was slammed shut when they had emptied it).

Judging by the dispenser it had been used with gallons of thick gloopy softner too, I got it all cleaned up after a couple of days of good hard scrubbing, but the gunk in the door seal I can only describe as resembling compost! It was probably about 7 years old by the time I got it though and no doubt spent it's whole life being used like this!

After cleaning the machine remained spotless and odour free for the year that I lived in the property, proof enough for me that there is no fault in the machine, it is entirely user error to blame.

It is amazing that people think nothing of treating appliances or their clothes like this, but then it was a student property!

Picture is not mine, but is of the same model.

Matt...

...it was actually an IZ. Sadly I couldn't cling on to it and the seal was £35, brushes a tenner, motor triac £unknown and the interlock. :(

But the drawer was clean tho!

Here's a pic.
