I bought this wash tower but didn't get delivered right away. Now that I have it I love the large capacity, so that I have less wash loads. I am a little disappointed when wash is finished, that water remains on the grey rubber seal, and in the hollow of seal. I do dry it with towel. Thinking in this day and age it would be much improved. My last machine was not a LG  did the same thing and got moldy, no matter how I tried to dry seal. It was still in great working order. So this is a little frustrating,
