Neat article. I bought a Bosch front loader back in 2000 and never had any
problems. I cleaned the detergent dispenser once and a while.

I will say it's been about a week since I installed my little CPU fan
arrangement and the washer has been smelling just fine.
I forgot about a load of laundry in it overnight, which almost guaranteed
skunkyness, and amazingly enough - none.

I think it's a cycle that can be used to freshen items that are dry clean
only.

I had an associate at work that purchased one of the top loaders without an
agitator couple of weeks ago. She used it for a week and sent it back.
She said that her clothes came out of it looking like they had been run over by

Occasionally it won't spin due to unbalance conditions (when I put too
many things in it, usually) and I had a problem with stinky clothes

One of the reasons attributed to the skunky smell issue is the use of too much
detergent. Most manufacturers recommend no more than two tablespoons of HE
detergent per load unless you have really hard water.

I believe the real problem is stagnant water in the pump. In a top
loader, the amount of 'sump water' is quite small, but in the front
loaders the pump wasn't designed well on the first models, and the
amount of 'sump water' was higher in proportion to the wash volume.
I cured mine as

If you had an older front loading washer, you may, from time to time,
experience issues with mold or a skunky smell in the drum. You can clean the
mold from around
Our LG front loader doesn't really develop odor very often but when it
does, it has a tub clean cycle, run that with a cup of bleach and it
kills the odor for a good while.

That's one of the features the the manufacturers came out with to deal with the
problem. I believe most machines have this feature now. Mine does not, nor did
any others in GE's product line that year, from what I can determine.

No complaints. Water bill went WAY down (two teenage boys when we first got it)

Its been trouble free since day one, despite having been moved several times.
