 Hi

I have had my Addwash ecobubble 8kg washing machine for one month now but recently there has been a smell coming from it when it is in use. I have used the ecodrum clean program few weeks ago so i do not think it is that. My husband thinks it could be a detergant smell mixed with the calgon tablet but i think it smells alittle bit like a burning smell. Does anybody else have this problem.

Hi
Problem all sorted now. It wasn't the machine, it was the plug socket. It was burnt out so the plug got stuck. Electrian changed the socket and Samsung engineer changed the lead with a new plug. All working fine now. Thanks

I have checked on this site but the one answer close to my problem wasn't what I needed.  My machine smells okay at start and at off but the clothes are definitely smelling and it is strong.  Any ideas whilst I hold for Samsung to accept my call

Hi @liz13

 

Can you describe the smell? Is this happening with all the clothes or some in particular (materials maybe)? 

Which model do you have?

Oh no, not very pleasant then! You can find the model code on the inside of the washing machine door. As you have already arranged a callback, I would advise speaking to our Home Appliance Team as they’d be able to provide further support. If you have arranged the callback today, please note that calls are placed into a queue though our colleagues aim to get in touch as soon as possible.

In the meantime, here are some helpful links:
