hotpoint first edition washing machine query?

Question

hi guys
        heres the deal... i was using my washing machine today when soap started to come from the detergent draw..... to such a extent i needed to mop it up as the washing cycle finished 
        what caused this and can it be fixed by myself...... my neighbour is convinced its the filter and from what i have discovered the filter is on the back on my model..
         the strange thing is i did 2 loads and it was fine.... any idea,s on what caused this ?
         as i mentioned the model is the hotpoint first edition WMA 20
             any help is much appreciated 
                   cheers guys !

This may be a stupid question but have you tried cleaning out the lint filter at the bottom of the machine? Also, have you taken out the detergent tray and cleaned it out thoroughly? Finally try pouring some Zoflora into the machine and running it through the hottest cycle. It should help. I noticed my clothes smelling bad when I used the liquid capsules from Lidl. Try sticking to traditional branded powders - seem to work the best for me and add some Comfort Creme condtioner to the wash. Clothes always smell lovely after !
