Washing Machine
Ask a Question
Hello looking for advice my washing machine was gifted to me about a month ago as my old was leaking now I don't know where is was kept but I've done white vinegar on 90 degrees wash twice and used washing machine cleaner too and still I'm getting brown what look like little bits of mud on clothes and honestly it's driving me insane what could it be?
Try actually taking the ‘dosing drawer’ out. Give that a good scrub.
To clean the slot that the drawer slides into I use a thick tea towel soaked in boiling water - ring it out and push as much of it as you can into the slot - the heat and steam loosens the powder that is stuck in there as sometimes it’s brown. Use a long kitchen washing up brush to scrub it. Repeat if necessary- then use the white vinegar on a long boil wash.
Good luck
suevernon1968 I've done that twice in bleach with the draw done the rubber too cleaned it again on 60 washing and dried everything out put a wash on this morning and my daughter jump got all marks on it 
Leannexxx have you checked to see if you can get a finger between the metal drum and the rubber seal? Clothes could get part of the way through then come back into the drum when it spins again. (I was told that’s where socks go to die and leave you with odd socks lol)
suevernon1968 honestly I done everything I'll put it on another hot wash and if it keeps doing it that's it in getting a new one
Leannexxx or see if there is a plumber in the area that would do a free call out - if he knows what it is he would probably tell you if it’s worth repairing.
If you do buy a new machine- AO promises to match any like for like price.
I think the old fashioned twin tubs used to get clothes cleaner than the modern ones do !
