Whirpool Dryer - AZA 9791 smell issue

mburke

I have the whirlpool dryer but didn't use for the summer, now there is a smell from the drum, like a mold smell which goes onto the clothes if I use the dryer. I have cleaned every filter and wiped everywhere but still have the problem.

I rang whirlpool support and they never heard of this type of problem and to add to it the 2 year warranty is up since January last.


Any suggestions?

EdgeCase

Select timed-drying or whatever it's called on that machine and run it empty for about 120mins+ on a hot cycle.
That should dry out any mould that might have built up in the condenser.

Other than that, just keep pestering Whirlpool. That simply shouldn't be happening.
