I bought this over a year ago and wish I would of done something about it soon. Have three babies and a full time job its really hard to figure out why an appliance sucks. Every wash I do it smells rotten, so I run an empty cycle with vinegar first to see of that would help. The rubber part turns moldy and is almost impossible to clean and collects dirt and grime. I keep the door open so it can dry out and not get more moldy with the moisture. I should not need to clean a washer each use. I hate using it and now I an stuck with it because I would feel bad selling it to someone. I hate this washer, but the dryer is fine.
