Freshly washed clothes smell of nothing!

I have a new washing machine with the auto dispense drawer. 

Ever since I got this machine my freshly washed clothes come out not smelling fresh! (Smells of nothing)

I have made sure the rinse per dose etc is on (currently on med) 

I dont fill the machine with lots of clothes and wash on the cotton setting. 

Have used the clean drum option also too. 

I never had this issue with my old machine which was a manual dispense drawer. 

Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening? 

I miss my freshly smelling clothes. Please help! 

Thank you 😊

If wash with just water, do you see soap suds, to prove its pulling the detergent in? You can take the draw out and "clean" to see if you can spot a problem, the lid just flips off if it's anything like mine.

I had the same thing at first, the washing liquid was going down so I knew it was drawing it into the wash. 

it was really hard to see if there was any suds while washing, I adjusted the dose level and the next wash and could see a very small amount of suds running down the inside of the door and washing smelled fresh when it came out, it wasn’t a strong smell. I have washed gym and running kit so it would be obvious if it wasn’t washed properly.

The amount of suds I got on my last machine makes me think that I was probably using too much detergent.

We have the same problem- our machine is brand new and after each wash (tried different cycles) the clothes either smell of nothing or in some cases smell of BO. 
We have a “Bespoke Series 6+ Auto Dose SpaceMax WW11BB534DAB/S1 WiFi-enabled 11 kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine”

have all tries different dosing options and different types of water but results are the same. 

Any help would be welcomed.

What type/brand of washing detergent liquid and fabric softener are you using for a start?
also have you tried tossing some of those scent booster granuals into the drum before each wash?
