Why clean clothes may not smell as good as they should

The Key to the Drain Plug:
Each washing machine is equipped with a drain plug that contains a filter. This filter catches debris and lint that come off clothes during washing. Over time, the filter can become clogged, affecting the cleanliness and freshness of clothes. Cleaning this filter periodically is essential to maintain optimal performance of the washing machine.
Location and Cleaning of the Drain Plug:
To find and clean your washing machine’s drain plug, follow these steps:

Consult the Owner’s Manual: The first step is to review your washing machine’s manual to locate the drain plug.
Unplug the Washing Machine: Before proceeding, make sure the washing machine is unplugged to avoid accidents.
Access the Drain Plug: Generally, it is located at the bottom front of the washing machine. Remove any access panels if necessary.
Remove the Plug and Clean the Filter: Twist the plug to remove it and extract the filter. Clean the filter under running water to remove accumulated debris.
