Every time I start my Kenmore HE2t washer there is

Every time I start my Kenmore HE2t front load washer there is a very powerful smell of mold. I can't find the manual but I suspect there is a filter that needs cleaning. Any suggestions?

If it has a clean cycle that says, "Bleach Only," run it with 1/2 cup bleach right in the machine. If not, run it on the longest, hottest cycle you have. In the future, leave the door open slightly between loads.

Kenmore HE2t only runs some modes

Take the front panel off the bottom and look for a clear bag with the tech sheet in it. It has the tests that you need to run. The old models of this make had issues with the whole control panel and it is not cheap

I have a he2t wash comes out smelling like mildew really tired of it please do not tell me to leave the door opened I do still smells

The trick is to clean the interior using regular detergent, baking soda, and hot water; run a complete cycle without any laundry in it. Wash the rubber boot where the door seals with same mixture at which point the interior should smell fresh and clean. Now is the time to leave the door open after use so that the remaining moisture can evaporate out to prevent mold growth. Hope this helps!

My Kenmore Elite smells like mold!

Run a cycle ,no clothes in, with about 3 cups/ 750 ml of bleach in it. How? put a fil a plisticbag with the bleach and set it in the washer. It will tip up when you start the cycle. You should end up with a clean washer and clean empty bag.

Front load washer mold smell

Run an empty load of Clorox water. Put double in and run the complete wash & rinse cycle. It will kill the mold spores. Keep the lid open when you're not using it.

Mold & Smelly in Washer

Shepherd, Finkelman, Miller & Shah, LLC, is currently investigating defects and other problems in certain front-loading washing machines manufactured and/or sold by Whirlpool, Kenmore, and LG Electronics, including Kenmore Elite HE3 front load washers, Whirlpool Duet front load washers and LG Tromm, LG XL and other LG model front load washers, which result in the growth of mold/mildew in the machines and which can cause the staining of clothes and other problems.

On August 29, 2007, SFMS filed a Complaint against Sears Holding Corp. involving its Kenmore HE, HE2, HE3, HE4, HE5 and other front-loading automatic washers. If you own a front-loading washing machine that is manufactured by any of the above-mentioned companies and are experiencing the growth of mold/mildew in the machine, visit the following website: www.frontloadwasherclassaction.com
