Is there a filter that can be gotten at to clean? Reason -- very stale water smells are staying in the laundry now. Thanks for your help! ~~Canadian Query

Stale smells come from not drying the front gasket trough just inside the door. Your bleach isn't cleaning that area. Use Tilex Mold spray on it. Clean and dry the door glass as well and leave the door open for a few hours after a wash or leave it open all the time. If it is dry, it can't smell.

There will always be some water in the pump area, but if you remove the pump filter cover, that releases and water left behind.

When you use bleach always do whites or your tea towels next. You can also dilute by adding a couple of jugs of water first.

There is a trick to look for rattling items between the inner and outer drum. Put a good flashlight against the holes in the drum and you can see what is below without getting the glare from the drum.

Hope this helps Mike

Hi,
Following steps will help you in finding the reason for having the weird smells:

* The drain pans under the refrigerator need to be removed and checked.
* The fan covers in the freezer section should be removed, check the evaporator coil and defrost drain pan.
* Check where the drain grommet goes into the drain closely, there could be a void in this area.
* There is always the possibility that the odor is from a liquid that has gotten inside the liner of the refrigerator.
* Did you replace any filter recently? If yes the water trapped in the filter head will stale and develop this type of issue. The problem may be resolved by flushing a gallon or two of water per day through the dispenser. If the problem does not go away, the filter head may need to be replaced. This would require a service technician to install the part.
Hope this helps.
Please feel to ask us if you have any further queries.

first things first we need to purchase a cleaning tablet from local grocery store called affresh tablets in your laundry detergent aisle ,

then clean out filter sump assymbly in bottom corner of washer som washers have an axcess panel in the bottom righ or left hand corber uncrew filter cap and drain in to bucket or a shop vac .

clean debris out of filter and reinstall the filter screw cap in tightly ..

check your console for a clean cycle option in your wash cycles an select put one affresh tablet inside of washer drum and run cycle..

if you dont have a clean cycle thats ok select your hotest water wash cycle or sanitary cycle put one affresh tablet inside washer drum and run cycle ...

after cycle completes always leave waher door cracked open when washer is not in use ,,, reccomend running an affresh cycle once every month or if u notice stagnant water smell the more often you wash with hot water the less chances of smell

Run a very hot wash on your machine with no load

Fill a bucket with a strong solution of soda crystals and pour it into the machine first

Add some more crystals to the soap dispenser

Use an old fashioned soap powder for a couple of washes as well and reduce the load slightly

Modern soap powders do not contain certain bleaches and soda and the 40 degree wash leaves body fats and oils inside which cause odours

Make sure that you are using high efficiency (he) detergent. Pour 2 cups of vinegar in the tub and fill the detergent tray with vinegar. Run it on the hottest, longest cycle. You can also use a Front load cleaner such as Afresh, made by Whirpool. I think that Tide makes one too. Vinegar is usually readily available. At the end of washing for the day, leave the door to the washer slightly open so that fresh air can get in and dry it out keeping moldy, milduey smell down. If it mildews, use a rag and bleach water to clean the boot seal. Hope this helps.

Try Running Goo Gone Through It Although It Smells Like Oranges It Removes Stains As Strong As Sap. Also Try Running The Dry Cycle While Its Empty Two Or Three Times.

HI thanks for your question. ALL front load washers have the same problem.MY solution every wash use 1 cup of vinegar in time will solve the problem. thanks the appliance doc. please rate my answer. thanks.

Having the same problem as everyone else , I make a habit of cleaning the filter once a month. I would like to advise people that if your load is heavy (such as scatter rugs) they will not spin out completely even when the filter is cleaned. No more GE for me!!

Most commonly, this relates to sulfides or other impurities in the water itself, but may also be caused by a buildup of food soil within the washer. Smell a clean glass of water. Does it smell stale also? If no, clean the screens and wash water sump/tank within the machine.
You can also clean the inside of the machine by using a commercial grade dish machine detergent and increasing water temp if possible.
If the water smells stale, consult a local water expert for guidance in resolving
