It's Mrs Danandem here,
We've got a Bosch washer dryer - the wash function is fine but I used the tumble dry function the other day for the first time in ages and the clothes came out smelling of a mixture of wet dog, mould and burn - it was gross and I had to wash the whole lot again. Since then I've run a hot cycle with bleach in the wash but its made no difference. I've not got the manual anymore but does anyone have any tips or know if I'm missing cleaning something on the machine itself??

White wine vinegar is a good soap deposit dissolver, throw a bottle's worth in and put it on a 60C wash.

depends on the make, but our one is behind a little door on the bottom right hand from corner. Some other have then inside the drum. You should be able to find the manual on-line somewhere.
