I can't get rid of this nasty smell coming from our washing machine. We have tried running it with vinegar and baking soda. Then we tried odoban which disinfects, and deoderizes. We also tried bleach. None of them worked. Then as a last resort, since the oder seemed to be coming from between the drums, my husband took the whole washer apart. There was quite a bit of yucky stuff between the two drums which we cleaned out thoroughly. After all that work, I thought for sure the problem would be fixed. But today, I started to smell it in the washer again! It can't be just a smell to the water because I cannot smell anything in the water taken from the sink next to the washer. The water going to the washer is taken from the pipes just above sink. The only thing I thought we could still check is the hose going from the pipes to the washer. What am I missing? I do not want to buy a new washer. It is 12 years old but still works great. (except for the smell)
