These front loading washers were to be the wave of the future. Well, maybe not. They stink! Literally. A mold is found to be growing in them, plus other stuff that produces a smell, not a nice smell. I didn't even notice it until Karlene said her washer stinks. I said, "Mine doesn't." But then I put my nose in there and was surprised to find PEE-U-E. And we live in a dry climate, imagine the smell in humid places.
