Does anyone know what the problem may be?
I had one of these new-fangled front load washers back north. Hated it! Never had the smell. However, I did use the cleaner tablets every 6 months or so...just because. BUT, the thing that really helped was wiping down the rubber gasket that seals the door. It stays wet and that’s where the odor comes from. I got in and under the gasket and wiped it as dry as I could. Try that!
