Question about GE WSXH208A Front Load Washer
Front load washing machines develop a musty smell over time for several different reasons. Mostly due to using to much soap or the wrong type of soap. Since FL washers use much less water than traditional top loaders, regular soap with all the fillers and high sudzing agent within can not be rinsed out of your cloths or washer. The smell is caused by bacteria feeding off the soap scum residue left behind. Be sure you are using a HE detergent as is recommended by the manufacture.
Run and empty load with 1 cup of bleach placed in your soap dispensor and hot water to clean your washer. If the problem persists try "Washer Fresh" a cleaning agent specially made to take care of this problem.
After smell is gone repeat once a month to prevent reoccurace of problem

Try using vinegar, baking soda, or bleach in an empty load to counteract any residues left in onboard water. Also check for debris stuck in door baffle(rubber sleeve between door and tub).
