Why does my LG Washer smell bad?
During the initial phase of operation of your LG Washer, lint from laundry can settle on the heater and cause strange odors. This is normal and will not affect performance. If it is the first time using washer, smell comes from the rubber attached to the washer door and it will eventually dissipate after first couple of wash cycles. Periodically clean the gasket. Mold and foreign substances inside the gasket may produce mildew or musty smells. Clean the drain pump filter regularly, as foreign substances on it may produce mildew or musty smells. If the drain hose is not installed properly, the odor may be emitted because of a backflow of drainage into the tub. Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged.
