    Smelly water only in washing machine
    The water in my wash machine smells almost every time I do wash. Its not the machine as some sites suggest - it's the water itself. There is no odor when using water anywhere else in the house. I have even used the wash machine cleaner just to make sure it wasn't mold or mildew. Can anyone tell me what to do to get rid of this water odor?

    Remove the washer hoses and draw water out of the faucets. Does the water still smell? Let me know. Tom
