Product review (3 stars): Stinky sludge stuck in door seal
The pros of this washer is that it has held up and washes fine. The cons are it makes your clothes smell no matter how well you try to clean it. If washing towels, I have to put baking soda in with the wash to keep it from stinking. Also, for quite a while I was trying to figure out what brown crayon was left somewhere in our wash. Finally I realized that it was coming from the sludge under the door seal. I try my best to clean this out, but there is always some lurking. I often have to rewash items that are smeared with this stuff. Waste of energy, not to mention it's disgusting. This is not my first front load. I had a Kenmore previously and did not have this issue for whatever reason. I'm attaching a picture to show what I'm talking about.
