This mildew smell is a common problem for people who own front-loading washers. That odor comes from mold growing inside your washing machine caused by residue and bacteria. Here are a few steps you can take that will help eliminate the cause and remove the smell.
Cleaning with Bleach. Some washers have a âtub cleanâ feature. If it does, pour 2 cups of bleach into the detergent area and run your washer through as your âtub cleanâ directions advise. If your front loader doesnât have this feature, pour the bleach into your washer and run it empty on its hottest cycle.
