washer smell
Does anyone have a good solution for eliminating musty smells in our front load Splendide washer?

But that does not mean that letting it dry out as much as possible after each use doesn't help.....because it does.
If there is a removable "tray" where things like soap and fabric softner get put in, it can retain a fair amount of water after a load too. It probably can be taken out easily and dumped after each use.
Check the owners manual for recommended cleaning. When we did that, we found a clean-out door with a screen behind it. YUCK.
And finally, every 10 loads or so run it empty with a quarter to half cup of chlorine bleach. Too much bleach can actually damage stuff if it is a reduced water design......which most front loaders are.
