    This may be a stupid question but have you tried cleaning out the lint filter at the bottom of the machine? Also, have you taken out the detergent tray and cleaned it out thoroughly? Finally try pouring some Zoflora into the machine and running it through the hottest cycle. It should help. I noticed my clothes smelling bad when I used the liquid capsules from Lidl. Try sticking to traditional branded powders - seem to work the best for me and add some Comfort Creme condtioner to the wash. Clothes always smell lovely after !
