Samsung WF0600NXW: Eliminating Cesspool-Like Odor from Inlet Hose & Fast Water Deterioration

Good day. I have a problem with the washing machine, it smells of ... cesspool for some time. After cleaning everything I could, it turned out that the bad smell came from a place I wouldn't even think about - the water supply hose! Which actually makes sense, after all, the stench does not appear until the water is tapped and disappears after the washing machine is rinsed, which I have to do before each wash. What is worse, the water "deteriorates" at an extremely fast pace, in less than a day. I unscrewed the hose today, drained the water into the bathtub and after plugging it back into the washing machine, the stench did not appear in the washing machine, which also confirms my theory that its only source is the hose, not something stuck in the washing machine. Unfortunately, I have no idea what is wrong. The hose is connected directly to the bathtub faucet (such an ordinary extra knob). Can too weak or too much open water matter? When it comes to taking water through the washing machine, I did not notice any problems.
Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hello.
Does the water that the bathtub is filled with from this faucet also have this bad smell?

No, I didn't notice anything like that. The fact that this faucet is used frequently during the day, but I suppose it would feel something from the night.

There is probably no "siphon" on the drain side and filling the washing machine with water pushes the air with the stench that got in overnight. Impossible that the running water stinks.
Maybe the drain hose is poorly laid and there is no elbow where the water should stay, isolating the odors of the sewage system.

Maybe she misinterprets what the author of the topic wrote, but the author claims that the smell comes from the inlet hose and the water in it generates this smell.
From my own experience, I can say that something similar happened to me. Well, most probably the waterworks workers removed some failure in the water supply system and after restoring the water pressure in the water supply system, the water took with it dirt that deposited on the hose filter, i.e. the strainer, the end of which is pinned to the ball valve in the wall.
When I wanted to do the washing, the water flowed into the washing machine with less pressure, which prompted me to clean the strainer in the solenoid valve and the valve in the wall.
It turned out that on this strainer in the wall valve there was dirt deposited probably from the remains of rotting plants or something like that and the smell was intense and unpleasant, that is, to put it simply, the stench was merciless.

This is 100% not the drain hose's fault. When the washing machine is left unused for one day, the water that remains in the filter does not smell like anything, the hose is rinsed off. also feel nothing. The stench occurs only when water is being drawn. Anyway, the drain hose is not even connected to the sewage system, but inserted into the bathtub, so not much, which would probably go back. In addition, the washing machine does not smell when it is not used, but the unscrewed inlet hose - yes, the remains of water that smells like a septic tank pour out.

What kind of strainer in the solenoid valve is it? The one that is on the border of the hose and the washing machine, or are there any additional solenoids? Honestly, I didn't look at them. I understand that the wall rather falls off, since the tap water is ok?

It is best to unscrew the inlet hose on both sides, i.e. from the washing machine and the battery.
There is a strainer in the washing machine's solenoid valve, i.e. a filter that can be removed with pliers.
With the battery in the hose screwed to it, there should be a strainer on which, in my case, these rotting and smelly remains of ... something.
I suggest cleaning everything thoroughly.

I unscrewed the hose on both sides today. From the faucet side, no smell, but from the washing machine side, there is a familiar smell at the connection / seal. So it is not so much the remnants of the water in the hose that stink as the water that lingers at the connection to the washing machine, at the seal, strainer, etc. By the way, is there a right to water in this place in a washing machine that has not been operated for a day? I turned it on today and washed everything I could on the connection, but there were no visible impurities. I have no idea why this place generates such a stench at such an express pace, since there was no permanent contamination, even limescale deposits. I don't know where the bacteria, like the ones that produce gas in the septic tank, come from because the smell is identical.

There will always be pressurized water in the connected hose to the washing machine even when the water supply is turned off. Since there is no pollution, you would have to ask your neighbors if someone is struggling with a similar case. If so, then the quality of the water supplied to the house or apartment by the water supply leaves a lot to be desired.

If you had a toilet with a flush not mounted under the plaster, then after removing the flush cover, the situation should be analogous to that in the case of a washing machine. If you have one, you can check if this is the case.

I will dig up the topic a bit because I am struggling with the same problem as pannamigotka. It clearly stinks from the washing machine supply hose. I live at the end of the estate and, as the called water workers once told me, we are at the end and in our house, pollution from the water supply system can settle on the sieves. However, I wonder if I should replace the water supply hoses right away. Did Miss Migotka deal with the topic?

I dig out the old topic - the problem has not disappeared, I am used to rinsing the washing machine before use ... I will be replacing the washing machine soon, we'll see if it changes anything.
Samsungus and you managed to solve the problem?
If it is really the fault of the water quality, it is very, very bad - this year I switched from bottled to tap ...

So for me the situation is as follows. The water supply valve did not work, i.e. it could not be closed due to corrosion, so I replaced it and since then, after finishing washing, I shut the water supply. At the same time, I leave the washing machine with the door open. I have disinfected the washing machine twice, then at a washing temperature of 65 ° C, and with special solutions or at a temperature of 95 ° C with two dishwasher tablets. Generally, the washing machine does not stink. Unfortunately, there is still a stench when starting the wash when the water reaches the detergent container. This is a short-lived phenomenon. For about 3-5 seconds. Some clothes smell musty after washing. Cleaning the water supply hose did not improve either. I think there is no point in replacing it, because there is a stench in the washing machine from the water supply side of the powder container. I load the washing powder directly into the chamber. I am waiting for a visit from a specialist to dispel my doubts. Let me know if replacing the washing machine helped, because I'm also close to replacing it.

I know I'm digging up an old topic, but maybe you or someone else could use a little update. Although everything indicated that it stinks from the water supply hose, because the bad smell only appeared when the washing machine was drawing water, the stench had to be sucked in from the inside. It helped ... changing the washing machine I was close to disassembling the drum in order to have access to clean the space under it properly, "luckily" there was another breakdown and in good conscience I replaced the washing machine with a new one, it has been running for half a year and nothing stinks

Check if the light does not penetrate the snake to some extent. It was like that in my snake and there was some nasty stuff in the snake that created the local ecosystem. Only caustic soda helped.

In my case, so far I did not buy a new washing machine. I only replaced the water supply valve to the washing machine. The old one was open all the time and after 5 years of not using it, I discovered that closing the valve did not stop the water. Everything inside has corroded. By the way, I cleaned the hose with a solution of water with domestos and knock on everything ok for now. Clothes do not stink anymore.

Hello, I know this is an old topic. But I have the same problem. The rotten egg smell only comes from literally the water supply hose. The same is for new purchased dishwasher too. I discovered this smell from disconnecting the water supply from washing machine and I ran some water in a bucket and the rotten egg smell came from it, but it disappears when you pour about like liter of water, so literally the hose alone has the smell. Obviously it is connected to the cold water intake which gives water to faucet too. Faucet does not have the smell at all, and even when I disconnected the washing machine intake pipe and I tried to run water only from the pipe alone (from the place where intake water is connected for water supply) and it didn't smell at all, which is logical because the faucet water has no smell. What the hell kind of mystery it is? The source of rotten egg smell is literally the hose which provides water. How could hose alone cause this??????? We purchased dishwasher recently and I tried to check if the water supply also has rotten egg smell.. and it does, the dishwasher and water intake hose are all new. Now how it is possible? It makes no sense because if you disconnect the first part where it is connected to cold line the water does not have any bad smell. it is like the second the water enters the water hose for washing machine then it starts to rot there lol.. it smells everyday if you use washing machine or dishwasher. And as I said the smell disappears when you run the water for a little bit, like liter or two and there is no smell anymore. So the only logical explanation I currently have that water in intake hose just rots fast and that's it?? How is this possible? I don't believe replacing the intake hose will fix the problem because the smell disappears when you run the water for a little bit, and also the new dishwasher also has this smell from intake hose. Has anyone found solution to this mystery? And I don't see any logic thinking about drain hoses, if there was a problem there the water everywhere in faucet too would smell bad, drain system and water supply system are not connected at all of course, so why would only the hose itself smell bad?

Good morning, I have the same problem. Water that smells like sewage is flowing into my washing machine. It only smells when the washing machine is turned on, after turning it off it doesn`t smell anything, the washing machine doesn`t smell, it doesn`t leak from the pipes either. The washing machine is only two years old, it is clean, there is no moldy smell. The Samsung washing machine service technician said that they don`t deal with this.
What specialist should be called for this problem? Who is responsible for replacing/cleaning siphons, replacing pipes, and checking the sewage system? Honestly, I don`t want to list it myself, mainly I see that there are several ideas listed above, so I don`t think there is one obvious solution.

Please provide the model and manufacturer of the device.

As the problem concerns a different washing machine model, please create your own new topic because this one will be closed anyway.

Have you managed to solve the problem? I have replaced the washing machine, I don't use washing powders (only liquids), I often wash at 90 degrees and after a few years the problem has returned again. My hands are falling off.

Replace the hose and problem solved.
The smell is often a result of heat so try to position the inlet hose so that it is not near a heat source, such as a central heating or hot water pipe.
