SOURCE: My washmachine smells horrible. My

there is nothing in a washer to smell - just stainless steel, rubber and plastics!
check the following:
are you using liquid detergent? if so after extended use, the machine smells like drains. put on the hottest wash with no clothes and smell will go. revert to using powder.
check there is a water barrier between the drain hose and your main drain. if not, the smell of your sewer will come up thro the drain hose.
is the drain connected to a spigot off the sink trap and do you have a waste disposal unit? these stink and unless you again have a water barrier the smell will come thro the drain hose

There is a strong horrible smell when the machine is filling at the beginning of a wash cycle

Hello,
The water enters the machine through a electric solenoid operated valve. If it smells bad only when it is filling, and not afterward, I'd start there.
To figure out if which one it is, start filling with cold water only. If no smell, then use hot water only. Whichever water temp causes the smell, then that could be the solenoid valve ( or the circuit controlling the valve) causing the smell.

There is a very simple way to get rid of unwanted smells. I would suggest use a cup of white vinegar every wash to clean from stale muck and smells inside the machine.

My Kenmore 80 series dryer seems to operate normally, except for a horrible "burnt chemical" smell in the dryed clothes. It almost smells like the gas is not exhausting correctly. Could it be the...

A lot of time a chemical smell is the result of blown capacity where the electrolitic is leaking out. Large caps are used in the moter start circuit and are usually located close to the motor. After awhile there will be an impact on the motor starting and the performance of your machine.

If it is the belt slipping you would get a burnt oil smell. If it was the blower motor or the drive motor it would be more of an electrical smell - burnt plastic type.

I have a soured smell in my dryer when it not running

Does it appear that the smell is in the cabinet rather than the drum? I'm guessing that bugs or mice are living in there. There are no components in the dryer case that would smell except for a slight electrical odor. Remove the case and look around! Look for droppings around the back.

Kenmore washer humms and smells horrible....

You have a bad motor. ( very common) If you take your model number to a local used parts store you may be able to find a good used motor for cheap. If no luck finding a used one, Order it from sears. (the motor is deffinately your problem, I replace them all the time.)
