This is a common problem with front loaders. Have you tried using HE (high efficiency) detergent and softener?

hoover surround multiflow restige electronic i have no manual pls help clean in red displayed and water pooling in the bottom.

Betty, this is problematic of all front loading washers. I have some helpful suggestions, which have helped us with our own front loading washer.

First, whenever you're done doing a load of laundry, don't close the door all the way shut. Leave it open a couple of inches for a day to let it air dry out, which will prevent the nasty smelling odor you're getting.

I also take a small rag/washcloth to wipe out the door seal/gasket after we're done washing, that way, there's less water to contribute to foul odors, etc.

The other thing we discovered is to make our last load of wash the hot water wash, whenever we're doing whites, or the stain cycle. This helps get rid of any gunk that might hang around between wash days.

Now we don't always have a hot water wash everytime we do laundry, but by just wiping out the gasket and leaving the door open, we eliminated the odor issues completely.

Frankly, the gasket shouldn't have to be wiped out when you're done washing, but that's a design issue that we've overcome with a simple washcloth. So just do these simple steps and you'll save yourself some frustration.

We really like how clean our laundry gets with the front load washer and how little water is needed to do a load, so we've decided it's worth taking the time to wipe the gasket once we're done for the day, and to leave the door open to prevent any nasty odors.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

The gasket that surrounds the door will fix it. If that's what you ordered, it'll be taken care of upon installation.

Could be but more than likely the drain is clogged. Open fridge door look at the top back to see if you can see water running down back of liner.

hi my name is joyce
have you tried using he detergent, if not this will make the suds back up in the door and push their way out the bottom of the door even if you have replaced the gasket. the front loaders are very sensitive when it comes to sudsing. if they get to many suds in pump they will give you problem, use about 1 tbs oil in wash ben and run cycle to get rid of suds that may be in pump, then see if this gets rid of problem, if not you may want to call a service tech. let me know if I can help find you someone.

This is a poor design. Mine became so stained that I replaced it. Unfortunatly the replacement part is for a newer model and the retrofit is a little different than the original. The seal didn't let the door close all the way and I have to push against it to get it to lock. I am hoping the gasket will loosen up over time. Even with that the drain is a water collector. I spray mine with a mildew product after washes, or leave the door open so it will dry out, and I occasionally wipe it with a rag. I hope Bosch changes their design.

your washer is a great washer BUT you Have to wipe the silly gasket all the time and leave the door open to let it vent and dry I deal with this all the time and no they dont tell you this when you buy them (they Should) but they want the sale then its your baby.I do warranty work for all the name brands and I see this on all of them good luck
