  If your Electrolux Washer/Dryer smells, it could be due to several reasons. It may be caused by moisture in the washer, using non-HE detergent, overdosing detergent, leaving a wet load in the washer, or cold water washes that don't fully dissolve detergents. To resolve this: * Perform a clean washer cycle. * Dry the inside of the gasket fold with a clean, dry towel after each wash. * Use only HE (high-efficiency) detergent with the recommended dosage. * Remove the wash load immediately after the cycle is complete. * Pour one cup of liquid chlorine bleach into the standpipe and let it sit for a day, then flush with water. * Utilize the door stand ventilation feature for a few hours after use or whenever the washer is not in use.
