One more thing...if you are new to Front Loaders....

If you do get one, make sure you keep the door open, remove/slide out the soap dispenser tray after every use....

Do more *santizie* washes with bleach/very hot Water if the medium you are washing allows for it.

Front Loaders require a different mindset. It's just due to how it washes...
If you just close the door after a wash, between soap scum and a *humid environment*, it's prone to mold/etc buildup you don't ever See as it's the between the inner/outer drum.

Scary stuff eh.

Sad to say, but I think there are quite a bit of machines out there with mildew/mold unebenowest to the eye..
