For about 27 years my mom had an old Kenmore washer that she got for a wedding gift and the whole time it worked before the motor burned up it never made funny noises, smelled clean and just work really good. Up until 3 or some years ago my mom bought a new Kenmore washer. For some reason, it retains this very old musty smell to it and sometimes the clothes come out smelling like the water instead of Tide.
I kid you not when I say mom has tried every single kind of cleaner through that washer, without clothes of course, to get rid of the smell. She has tried Vinegar, Vinegar + hot water, Drain Cleaners, Baking Soda + Vinegar, different laundry soaps etc.. etc.. etc... about the only thing we havn't tried is my Megs APC and who knows how well that would work. Might be worth a shot?? Sometimes we think that something died in there?? but it smells more like musty water rather than a dead corpse.
If any of you here have at least a basic idea of washers and get rid of musty water smells from them, please chime in. Thank you,,,,,,,AR
