Question:

front loader washer smells horrible when draining...any suggestions?

Kenmore front load washer smells horrible when draining. Inside of washer does not smell, only when draining during wash cycle. I always leave door open between uses. Used washer cleaner with no success. Washer is 10 years old. Is it the drain? Please help.

Answer:

I have a front load Kenmore washer as well and it too had an awful smell after some time. I used a washer cleaner and that helped for a bit and still a lingering smell. I did some research online and people have plenty of suggestions from running the washer on longest, hottest setting with vinegar or clr. I will be trying the vinegar option. I guess it can't hurt. It seems like this isn't only a Kenmore issue but rather a front loader issue.
