Washing machine odors are almost always caused by a gradual build-up of bacteria, mildew, limescale, or soap scum-or a combination of all fourHOW TO GET RID OF THE SMELL IN YOUR WASHING MACHINE

Fortunately, that moldy or eggy smell is likely coming from parts of your washing machine that can be easily cleaned. You shouldn't have too much trouble reaching the residue on drums, seals, gaskets, and dispensers. The key is using the right cleaning solutions, tools, and techniques to ensure completely spotless results.

• Drum: Luckily, you don't have to get hands-on to clean your washer's largest component! Instead, you can have the washer wash itself. Either use an off-the-shelf washing machine cleaner or try the following DIY method:
  • Combine 1/4 cup of water with 1/4 cup of baking soda; pour into the soap dispenser
  • Pour two cups of white vinegar into your empty washing machine
  • Run a hot wash cycle

With a few small changes to your laundry routine, you can also prevent those unwanted odors from ever returning. For instance, use the right detergent for your model to reduce leftover suds and, if possible, make sure your last wash cycle of the day is set to hot. You can also simply leave the door or lid open to allow moisture to dissipate more effectively.

Yes, your GE top loader washer model GTW680BSJ6WS does have a drain plug. It is located at the bottom of the washer, near the back. To clean the drain plug, you will need to remove it and then scrub it with a brush and soapy water. You can also use a vinegar solution to clean the drain plug.

Here are the steps on how to clean the drain plug of your GE top loader washer:

Turn off the washer and unplug it from the power outlet.

Locate the drain plug at the bottom of the washer, near the back.

Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug.

Remove the drain plug and set it aside.

Scrub the drain plug with a brush and soapy water.

You can also use a vinegar solution to clean the drain plug.

Rinse the drain plug with clean water.

Reinsert the drain plug and tighten it with the wrench.

Turn on the washer and plug it back into the power outlet.

Here are some other things you can do to try to get rid of the mildew smell in your washer:

Run a cleaning cycle with vinegar. To do this, add 1 cup of vinegar to the empty washer drum and run a hot wash cycle.

Clean the rubber gasket around the door. The rubber gasket can trap moisture and dirt, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. To clean the rubber gasket, use a mild soapy water solution and a sponge.

Leave the washer door open after each use. This will help to prevent moisture from building up inside the washer.

Avoid overloading the washer. Overloading the washer can prevent the clothes from getting clean and can also lead to moisture buildup.

Clean the lint trap after each use. The lint trap can trap dirt, lint, and other debris, which can contribute to the mildew smell.

If you have tried all of these things and the mildew smell is still there, you may need to call a professional appliance repair technician.
