Didn't think I could swing it (I'm on unemployment) but took advantage of Obama's cash for clunker appliances today. I get on my Obama phone and ring the Depot this morning and find out I just sneak under the wire for what few coupons are left for "green" appliances. I drive the Prius (the other clunker program) over and lay down my hard earned cash for a brand new Whirlpool.Get's delivered Wednesday and I hope that sumbitch can get it upstairs as I dont want to throw my back out till Obama care kicks in. Damn lucky to be alerted of this newest govenment benifit due to my "non digital" TV box coupon just arrived and I had to hook all that up myself at the last minute. Anybody else take advantage of the windfall appliance program?

I do have a tip for whoever has, a front loading washer, we got one 3 yrs ago and the mrs said every time she opened the door to do laundry, it smelled horrible inside , so i did some research online, and come to find out its a commen problem with them , and thats all makes, one solution is every 3-4 loads , run an empty load with bleach, to kill the bacteria, (where the smell comes from)another simpler one is just leave the door slightly ajar to let the remaining water inside evaporate
We got one, and they are excellent (super quiet, very smooth), but they do have a tendency to get a smell because water pools in the bottom. So once a month I run an empty load with a lot of bleach and I also leave the door ajar quite often.
One ours, there is a panel in lower left, if you open that, there's a trap for lint and junk, that holds water, open it, clean trap and that also drains all that pooled water.
I like ours when it kicks into final spin mode and is screaming along at 1600 rpm. Pretty quiet too, it makes more noise filling with water than it does at full spin.
