I have a front loader and have not had a problem with odor with clean clothes. Make sure you are using an HE detergent. I use Tide HE.
And try running an cleaning cycle on the washer. Front loaders need to be cleaned more often than top loaders. They can get smelly but that is usually a mold or mildew smell. There are commercial cleaners you can buy, but I usually use bleach and the hottest water. I clean it about every other month. |
