STINKY CLOTHES I have tried EVERYTHING with this washer to keep it from re-molding and smelling but NOTHING has worked. We have even tried those Afresh tablets that you use once a month. Now it is to the point that all of our clothes stink when they are done washing and drying. Even when you use the towels after a shower your skin has the horrible smell on it. I wish they would buy the washer back from me so I could get a normal top load washer that I have NEVER had any problems with.

Well, I sure hope this helps; My two daughters have similar washers and they told me that they must wipe out the rubber seal around the door; because water and lint and even little sox collect there; and if they don't wipe it out each time, their clothes will smell. The bigger the door rubber; the bigger the collection pocket... One daughter wipes it and then leaves the door ajar between laundries; using a bit of tape to leave it just one or two inches ajar. Their clothes no longer stink.

To UN-stink already stinky clothes; you can wash them with a small amount of soap; and then rinse them with vinegar and soda. Put the vinegar into the soap dispenser and let it flow down before putting a few tablespoons of baking soda in the cup. If you put the soda in first; it will fizz up and overflow.

Also; be sure your dryer is not UNDER drying your clothes; as with the new sensors... if they are damp when you fold them; they will mold right in the cupboard.

If you go over to another part of this forum, you can find a lot of additional information about this problem ----

Detergent ??? yo are using a HE detergent correct??? foul odors can be attributed to over soaping in clothes this may be a real problem if not and even then you ll need to dramatically cut down on the amount of soap you use.. oneway to determine the "oversoaping " is to take a recently washed sock from the drawer and place it in a cup of water , with oyur fingers agitate the sock up and down in the cup and see of suds form if theres your problem.. this was posted no to question yor laundering techniques, or to be a smarta**, but oyou didnt mention you detergent so just wanted to rule this out.
