Bosch - Washer Odor

Washing Machine - Complaint

CALIFORNIA -- From the beginning there was a mold problem in the rubber around inside of door. Told to use bleach--dry machine after use and always leave door open when not in use. Now the towels have taken on a terrible odor, probably mold and the company suggested I call a repairman.

My suggestion before buying a front load (expensive) machine--review, review, review.

One terribly unhappy customer.

I also have a Bosch washer, about two years old. Any front loader could potentially have this problem. I leave the door open and occasionally wipe the seal out with no issues. Sounds like the seal on your door has been destroyed by mold so no amount of cleaning will help. The only fix will be a new seal then make sure to keep it clean.
