Ok so here's a question for you all... My GE... ITs not a bad smell but after remembering how my mom's whirlpool used to smell after years of original Oxidol and then Grandma's GE with years of Tide and Wisk, my machine smells rather sour. I'll never know what detergent was used in this machine but its not a pleasant smell - and when the washer is not in use and the lid is up to air it out - you can smell it in the whole laundry area. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions to help freshen it up. A cycle with a box of baking soda maybe? Always, ( tee hee) Matthew |

I always keep lids open after laundry so they can dry out. Perhaps keeping lids open might help. |

Funny this should come up. I never had this problem before with any machine, but I am having it with my Whirlpool. Hot washes with bleach help for about a week, then I get the mildew smell again. Cleaned under the top with hot water and bleach, but I am getting annoyed..... |
