Your washing machine is located on the first floor in the bathroom. After doing a wash there is a strong sewer odor - which only gets worse with each wash. What could be the cause of this?

Somewhere along your drain line the waste water is leaking out or the water is not draining freely in the sink that the water drains into (sewer line is possibilly blocked).Waste water from a washer will give an odor similar to sewage because afterall it pumps out dirty soapy water. If someone in your house has a really dirty job, try soaking their clothes before washing, that may eliminate the odor. If you have a leaky drain pipe you may be able to find it and repair it. Out of the two possibilities, my first choice would be your drain line is leaking and dirty water is settling on the floor somewhere. A third possibility is your washer may have a customer friendly lint filter that maybe is not being cleaned after each load, this wet lint can also give off an offending odor or if the filter is self cleaning it may need to be replaced. If you try the obvious fixes and don't find the problem you may have to call in a reliable service technician to at least find what's wrong and give you an estimate then you can decide if it is worth repairing or better off replacing the machine depending on the price of repair and age of washer.

Does a washing machine need a magnet to operate?
The answer is both yes and no.It actually depends on the kind of washing machine in question.The problem is the motion.A washing machine need some kind of an engine or motor in order to move the cloths back and forth. This can of course be done manually.If we rule out manual washing machines, and also only count in electrical ones then these can be made in two different ways.The motor causing the tumbling or the motion in the washing machine can be made with both permanent magnets like NeoDym, or with purely electrical pulses creating strong electromagnetic fields.Most motors in washing machines made today are made without magnets. It is cheaper to make purely electrical motors where the electricity provides the magnetic fields needed. By electronically rotate the magnetic field around the axis, this will force the motion of the motor. It would use less electricity to make the motors with NeoDym magnets but it would also cost more to produce.As a conclusion: We can not make an electrical washing machine that operate without magnetic fields, but magnetic fields does not have to be made by magnets.

It may be a hard thing to do, but if you move the machine out and look under it, it may have leaked at one time and now mold is growing under it. If this is the case use bleach to clean the mold.
