SOURCE: kenmore washer smells/mildew on rubber

The smell problem is actually because of the softener....its nassssty stuff it coats the interior of the washer and forms a grease like residue. I would use Washer Magic (available at all appliance parts retailers) (only half the container in front loaders) and a hot wash. Also keep spraying the boot with bleach and water soluiton every few hours it will dissappear after awhile. please rate my help

Your rear bearing is bad. Check warranty to see if rear tub is still covered.

SOURCE: Smell coming from inside washing machine. Not musty.

This is a fairly common problem that often arises when the majority of washes are done with cold water.

Do what is called a maintenance wash where you set the machine to run with hot water and maximum fill of water. Add one half cup of baking soda and let it run through it's entire cycle with absolutely no clothes in it.

After it completes its full cycle check for that bad odor. If it is fully gone wonderful. If it is half as bad do a second maintenance wash.

If the maintenance wash doesnt seem to help at alll get back to me and I will make another recommendation.

Amana washer smell

You have mildew in the machine, best way to prevent it is to keep the door cracked open when not in use. Only way to remedy current problem that I have found works for sure is physically taking the machine apart and disassembling the drum and cleaning it by hand. I had to do my frontloader like that.

My dishwasher has a foul/ garbage like smell during/after running. Dishes do come out clean but the smell is really bothersome and it sometimes doesn't fully drain.

goto your nearest home depot they sell a product called affresh you use it on dishwashers there is also another version for frontload washers use this on your washers hotest cycle this removes mostly all smells if the smells persist you might want to check around the chopper area to see if you have any food enlodged around the chopper

No wash cycle activation

This was mistakenly entered as a frontloader. Should have been a top loader. Sorry
