Indesit washing machine smelly water in the drum
My daughter has inherited Indesit IWC71452 washing machine in her flat which appears to be working, washes the clothes okay but she keeps finding a pool of water in the drum afterwards which smells bad. We've tried the following
Taken out and cleaned the filter - smells disgusting but nothing blocking it and it seems to be clear inside
Ran a hot service wash
It's plumbed into the kitchen sink, checked the U bend which was clean and water seems to be draining fine from the machine.
The conditioner drawer collects water also despite being cleaned
If anyone can offer any further things to try before calling and engineer or buying a new machine we would be very grateful.
Thanks

Hello. It's probably siphoning down the drain hosefrom the sink. Check this article that explains it well (Tip no 2) Tips for correctly connecting up a washing machine
