Hotpoint BHWD129 washer dryer reeks: sort the odor before cleaning or repair

Treat a severe smell from a Hotpoint BHWD129 as a classification problem, not something to mask with another wash. First stop using the washer dryer and identify whether the odor is musty and concentrated at the door seal or dispenser, sewer-like near the waste connection, confined to drying and hot damp air, or hot plastic, electrical, solvent-like, gas-like, smoky, or burning.
