there must be something causing the stench...so you have to eliminate a few things...your u bend is ok and you have tried rinsing the machine and that has not helped...next try the filter as their may be something stuck in it..ie..old sock, money,hair clip .....you can also buy a washing machine cleaner to remove any build up of soap etc etc.....hope this helps

If its only 6 months old, phone the company up & ask them to send someone out. Hope you get rid of the smell.

Calgon is really good to use in the washing machine. keeps it fresh and clean.

Or you can use some dishwasher tablets in it to clean it out - I learnt that from Cuckoo Wink
