My washer gives off an odor. The clothes come out clean and do not smell, its when the washer is empty and you go in the room there is a smell, if you stick your head near the drum you can smell it. Any help would be great

Run a cycle with only bleach. Use about 2c. It should kill any smell.

MP's correct. Every washer has a sump the watrer left in the hose drains back into when the pump stops. Bacteria can grow down there and create a bad odor. Do the bleach thing and see if the smell doesn't go away. Good luck, Tom
