Why does a washer still smell after using a cleaning tablet?
A washer can still smell after a cleaning tablet if hair, detergent residue, or moisture remains around the gasket, drawer, or drum edge. Run maintenance cleaning, then wipe the gasket and leave the door open to dry. Pet bedding loads may need loose hair removed before washing so residue does not keep returning.
Decision points
- Cleaning tablets do not wipe the gasket
- Pet hair can keep odor returning
- Moisture trapped after cycles feeds smell
