Nelson, why does your washer smell bad??? do you not leave the door ajar after use? That is a most common issue with front loading washer owners/users. They have this habit of closing the washer door and leaving it closed until the next use which could be days later. If somebody unplugged their refrigerator for a few days,would they leave the door closed, of course not because they know it would get smelly inside if they did.Front loaders do the same thing. They have an air tight seal and need to be left ajar at least a few hours to allow the humidity to escape and the wet drum to dry out.I've had countless ones over the years and,after I got them,cleaned them out and used them regularly,they always smelled fresh as a daisy.Speed Queen makes some fabulous front loaders and has a strong 3 year warranty on them. Their inner as well as outer tubs are stainless steel.
