We wipe the entire rubber surface after every cleaning. We also use those incredibly expensive rinses once every month, so far.... but the on going cost is crazy. We even go so far as to place a dry sponge-celulose type inside the bottom of the rubber trough to get the very last bit of moisture.... STILL we have a stagnant water smell. ... DO there washers hold water inside even once they complete a proper spin cycle.. this is what I suspect. No more than 1 -2 days between loads..
All washers keep a certain amount of water in them, though front loaders, especially the newer ones, are prone to odors. This is because the are more energy efficient and use less water. That can result in more residue being left behind on the outside of the wash drum where you cannot see it or access it to clean. Some things that are helpful:
Testimonial: "Sorry, I guess I should have explained better but we keep the door wide open. We always use the rinse and we use very little detergent. We never fill the reservoir more than half way to the lowest line... We are only using about a tablespoon at most. I dont see a solution . I think these are badly designed machines."
I found something that works. Often ( once a week?) I drain the washing machine with that tiny hose down by the strainer. There is always water retained when the machine is not used. I am thinking of putting it direct to the drain. Dump that water and of course clean the strainer too.
Then put it all back together and 1/4 bleach and put on clean cycle. WORKS very very well. If I figure out the drain thing I will post something. But the key is to drain the reserve water often
