Okay, so, I am a very picky person about my washers, front loaders especially since they require a bit more care than top loaders and my mother managed to mess up one of my front loaders! My 220 volt Bosch front load washer STINKS! It's not the usual moldy/mildewy smell, but rather a burnt beef smell. She made a pot roast in the slow cooker and put 2 kitchen towels over it to hold the heat in better and it bubbled over and got the towels all nasty. She put them in my Bosch on 60C and washed them. When they came out, the whole machine STUNK like burnt beef including the towels!
I am very careful with the machine, I leave the door open for 48 hours before closing it, I NEVER EVER EVER use cold water to wash ANYTHING, every other wash in that machine is hot and I only use powdered detergent in it.
In an attempt to get rid of the smell, I ran a second 60C cycle with some towels and the smell did not go away. I checked the button trap to see if there was anything in there like a stray piece of beef or something. (It was completely empty.) I have since done three empty 95C washes. One with detergent, one with oxygen bleach, and one with a cup of baking soda and the smell remains! Any ideas?
