Stinky front load washer
Try running some washer cleaner through it to get some of the gunk out of the machine.
In general you should only use a hot wash and a cold rinse setting on this machine for everything. At least one and 10 loads should have liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser. Use a good detergent always use an extra rinse setting. If the machine is pretty smelly it may take a few months for it to start to smell decent. John L | ||

As with any TL, don't wrap clothes around the agitator when loading. Other than that, I don't know if Neptunes are known for twisting clothes any more than other TLs for some reason? | ||

if this is the maytag neptune TL with the 2 rotating disks, there might be a bunch of mold or residue built up behind them. run a few cycles on the longest setting with bleach, it should do a bit of good to remove the buildup. | ||

Also, leave the lid open between uses, should help dry it out and mitigate the smell. | ||

Neptune TL Use 1 cup of citric acid on a wash that runs a higher water level, like Bulky, using hot. That should remove a lot of gunk. Then run a bleach cycle. Hope that helps. | ||

Yup...the one with the discs Yes. This machine has the two rotating agitator discs. Does a fine job of twisting all the clothes together. | ||
