Washer smells foul...this is often a build up of soap, water, too many chemicals and this has left a residue, and the mildew moves right in and it stinks. This builds up is often on the inside of the outer tank. Many times that this happens is when people use to much soap and then they only do laundry once a week. One good solution to help your odor problem...it works well...in a top loader I recommend 2 cups of cascade and 2 cups of bleach, fill your machine with hot water and let it agitate. At the end of the agitation/wash cycle, let the machine sit and soak for about 10-15 minutes to work on your scum, then close the lid and let it complete. Next load run whites to be safe all bleach is out. This should help. On some really bad odor problems, you may have to remove the inner basket to scrap off the build up from the inside of the outer tank. You may will need special tools to remove the inner basket. Fabric softener is also nasty for building up inside and under the agitator. It is recommended to use half to a quarter of the detergent that the package recommends. Other things that may help, leave the washer lid open between laundry days. Never cover your washing machine with those plastic covers.

Frigidaire affinity front loader error 41, stuck on pause -- I had read someone's suggestion about removing the ring and unscrewing the latch, (or something like that) and I can't figure out what the ring is and how to get it off lol Error 41 is that control panel thinks that the door latch is open. and says refer to Test 7... what is test 7 and how do you fix this problem?

Frigidare LTF2940FS is no longer filling with water. A few weeks back, it started with not properly draining the water, then it seemed to clear up. Now two days ago, it won't fill the tub with water at all. Normally, I would hear the water pump engaging and the unit taking on water, now nothing. The valves are behind this crawl space, so they haven't been touched. Just prior to it not taking on water, I had managed to wash a load fine, then this. I tried turning on and off, tried using either hot or cold water only and then both, nothing. I did see an "L" flash by the control panel, then nothing. This unit is only 16 months old and I have taken meticulous care of it. Any thoughts?
