I love my new front load LG Washer. It's my first ever.  My problem is after the first use, there was this awful rubber smell. I was from the rubber seal around the tub. I'm learning that it needs to be dried (wiped down), along with the detergent dispenser....after every use and to allow the door  to remain cracked (not closed), to avoid the moldy smell.  It has become my routine and in doin so, I no longer have the smell rubber in the laundry room.  I also wished that I could set the wash time, instead of the automatic set times (55 min +).  Otherwise, I do love my set.
