Zanussi Turbodry machine about six years old, with a musty smell coming from the drum. Filter is clean, and there is no water remaining in the machine after wash cycles, but smell remains. Tried descaler and bleach to no avail. Any solutions suggested, or do we have to scrap the machine?

oh catherine, what are you thinking of? dont go scraping a working machine, have you never tryed soda cristels? oh my spelling is bad!!!!! well try this, get some soda cristels, put in a good strong mix, then do a very hot wash 60c the hoter the better, mind you dont put anything in with them, this will give the machine a good clean out and get rid of all the yuck that bilds up in them, you may need to do it more often it you wash a lot, or its an old machine and till its cleaned out,
this will do the job ok, but it wont help my spelling much!
still i dont need to spell to do the washing?
