Perhaps you have another issue? I have to say, I haven’t even run the clean cycle on mine as they suggest and there is no odor at all. I wonder why some have this happen and others don’t. However, I think appliances are one of those things, some people love a certain one and others hate them (or one person gets the only good one and loves them! LOL)
Years ago we had a Frididaire (I think) washer that had up and down agitation. I LOVED that machine even tho it was noisy. It did such a great job, and I had small kids and lots of diapers.
Anyway, the second time they had to replace the motor (both times under warranty!) because it leaked into the motor and rusted it, I gave up on them. A bad design but a good idea.
I've bought the cleaning mixtures and nothing has helped.
I miss clean-smelling laundry.
