My washer is 7 years old, it now has a musty smell I was told to drain it, I do not know how.
The simple solution would be to fill it like you would to do laundry. Then add a few cups of bleach and run it through it's cycle.

Hi
Try using bleach with hot water, run a cycle with hot water and bleach. Or spray bleach +water mixture on the seal. Run a cleaning cycle with hot water and bleach or vinegar at least once a month to reduce the growth of mold in other parts of the washer. You can also try using 1/2 a cup of Washing Soda or 4 cups of baking soda Crystals and run the machine with no clothes in it. This would remove all the debris, lint & mold growth from the drain pump and drain filter. This would clean the mold from the door seal as well. Hope this helps.. Please post back if you need mor information.

SOURCE: strong musty damp smell - tried soda crystals,
Try a full bag of soda crystals on a hot wash...and then add them regulalrly. They are not a deodoriser but will help clear the gunk that is causing the smell. Bicarbonate of soda is a better deodoriser though.

Go to YouTube, and type "Smelly Washer" in the search bar. Lots of good tutorials and advice.

If you have not already done so, then check and clean the filter.
This is usually located at the bottom front right of washer behind a drop down flap or cover.
Unscrew anti-clockwise to remove and clean.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.

a little bit of vanilla extract will take care of the smell. as far as getting the smell in the first place there is a problem with the drain system either the pump is not quite up to spec and leaving too much water in it or there is a problem with the line coming from it or the drains in your home. my advice would be to call bosch your washer is still under warranty and they will send someone out to look for it at no charge. this is not something i would be taking apart when the company will do it for you.
