My wife had been complaining about a bad smell in the laundry room. When I checked it out I noticed a smell like raw sewerage and thought it was coming from the drain pipe that the washer dumps into. I plugged to gap with a rag but the smell never went away. Last week her very expensive washer started not working. It was only 18 months old. After contacting Whirlpool and getting a run around, a repairman finally showed up yesterday. When he opened the machine he discovered the tub was filled with mold and very smelly water. He spent a considerable amout of time cleaning it out. His claim was that there was nothing wrong with the machine that would have caused this it had to be our water. Additionally I am told that the computer part that went bad is not covered under warranty and I will more than likely have to pay between $300 to $400 for the repair. I now have two concerns: 1) [paying $300/$400 dollars to fix it 18 months after paying $1000.00 to purchase it & 2) my bigger concern is the mold that grew in the tub... Anyone have any thoughts how to prevent this or even what may have caused it to grow like it did???
