    You’re doing all the right things. If these fail, then try doing the hottest possible cycle with a couple of dishwasher tablets thrown into the machine. This can damage the seal, but then so can mould. I would also check the filter again after and remove anything that cleaning the drum has shaken loose and flushed.
    It might be time to broach the subject of getting the seal replaced with the owners. If the washer is under warranty that won’t cost a cent but if not, then will need a repairman to call plus cost of parts.

      I was waiting for Your Witchiness to chime in! Good point re checking the filter again, I shall do that as well as a wipe of the seal.

      I’m not so fussed about my own clothes but the owners probably need to be gently told that they seriously need to consider seal replacement and that using hot water for washing doesn’t mitigate the impacts of mould without a good dry. Knowing the husband he’ll probably just buy an entire new washing machine, man has this obsession with buying new things rather than repairing
