Product review (1 stars): Clothes smell like Mildew - AVOID this washer
Clothes smell like Mildew - AVOID this washer.  Purchased from HH Gregg in Nov 2014.  Within 3 months all of our clothes, towels, dish towels, etc smelled of mildew.  I kept trying new detergent, smell booster, etc.  Nothing worked.  Finally pulled out the manual to see that after about 3 months you need to "sanitize" the machine.  OK - great no problem I can do that.  You are supposed to run the cycle with no detergent in it.  Also clean out the debris filter and wash the detergent dispenser....so a little annoying to have to do all this every 3 months but OK I can do it.  Well within 2 weeks, the smell was back.  Sanitized again and added white vinegar this time.  It did not help at all - I had just bought new work out clothes and ran them through the washer AFTER the sanitize with white vinegar (sanitize takes 5 hours!!!).  Wore the new and newly washed work out clothes - started to sweat and the great smell of mildew wafting off me.  So I sanitized again, then went to Samsung's website to contact customer support -- they gave me more instructions - now I am to sanitize again using 2 cups of lemon juice!  And they said pull the washer from the wall and make sure the drain hose isn't kinked.  PULL the washer from the wall???  Are you kidding?  the thing is the size of mini-cooper.  When I said this is ridiculous the guy asked well can't you get your husband to do it?  NO - I live alone.  Basically he said this is a maintainance issue and not under warranty.  So I am stuck with a smelly washer that I paid a fortune for.  Why is it that the Sears top loader I purchased in 1997 for $250 was less of a headache than this $1500 machine.  Save you money - buy a top loader.
