Open or Closed?

[veg-o-matic]

I'm kind of wondering what I should do with the door on my Frigidaire FL. Normally, I keep it open, or at least ajar. I figure that since the door seals so tightly, keeping it closed would make the innards get pretty mildewey in short order. The instructions say to keep it closed, but I think they're worried about kids hanging from it. No kids to worry about, and my weiner dog doesn't show any interest in the machine.
What do youall do?

and keep the drawer open too

I usually keep the door and the drawer open just a little bit for the washer to air out. I've been doing this since I first got the machine and it's still new.

I'm sure this is good for top loaders as well. keeps them clean and mold free
