HELP!! Kenmore Elite top load STINKS during use


posted by Jane755 on Apr 16, 2008


My Kenmore Elite top load washer stinks when it is in use. It makes that end of the house smell terrible. I already leave the lid open almost all the time when it isn't running.

It is a top load, I realized I was in the wrong place after I sent it. Thanks, Jane

Okay...that does make a difference. You may have something in the drain pump or drain line that is causing the odor problem. Leaving the lid open is a plus, but if you have something stuck in the drain somewhere, it will create musty odors. Is this an Oasis, or standard top loader? Could you please provide me with a model number (located around the lid opening) so I can determine what type of pump you have and how to access it?

Is this a FRONT loader, or a TOP loader? You have this listed under front loaders, but stated in was a top loader. This can make a difference in how to diagnose. Can you please post back with your model number?
