    Splendide Washer Odor

    Pun intended, my Splendide front load washer smells like something died in it. We use it often, and wipe the seal with almost every use. We've use washing machine cleaner tabs in it. It's recently started imparting really musty odors to our clothes, which I won't tolerate. They smell better going in than coming out... Is there a way to fix it?

    Also, thinking longer term, is this a design flaw with the machine? If so, what's better?

    I periodically spritz a solution of vinegar and water into the drum and in the seal/ring, let sit for a few minutes, wipe and scrub as necessary then run a quick cycle with plain vinegar in place of the the laundry detergent with an extra rinse. Solves the problem.
