This DID NOT WORK in my machine! But ALAS, I HAVE A FIX! I've had a moldy mildew smell I have been fighting for a few months in my Samsung Front Load washer, and nothing and I mean NOTHING has helped! I've used everything from bleach, borax powder, baking soda, more bleach, this stuff, vinegar, and more bleach. I have scoured the internet trying every tip imaginable & wasted so much money in electrical energy costs trying to eliminate the problem, all to no avail. But in a desperate attempt to diffuse the problem FOR GOOD (before I threw in the towel and trashed the nasty appliance), I got to thinking. We have a pool sitting in our yard with plenty of pool supplies, so I grabbed one of the many hth dual action chlorinating tablets (the #2) that you put in a floater to keep your pool water sanitized and decided to try a chunk of one. You shouldn't allow it to come in contact with your skin, so before I unwrapped it, I threw it onto concrete so that it would break into pieces and I took the largest chunk I could find, threw it directly into the tub of my washer with an old towel to help it stay put & add more water while "washing", then set the washer to SANITIZE (which takes about two hours and runs with the hottest water temps possible), and let it rip. I then ran another cycle on normal wash COLD WATER to rinse out the bleachy contaminants, and removed the leftover tablet piece and towel from the machine. Now, EVERY load thereafter smells SO fresh, just like the day I had the appliance installed! I am beyond happy! Yes, in essence I SHOCKED my front load washer! GOODBYE MILDEW!!! Yes, it's that easy after all. Now why didn't the washer manufacturer's think of that?? NOTE: If you should be one to try this at home, PLEASE DO NOT touch the bleach tablet, and allow the SANTIZE CYCLE to run completely before opening the washer door, or the CI bleach fumes will get you and this can be very dangerous! Hot water can release some of the chlorine in the bleach as a gas. This does go away once you run a rinse cycle and it will not run amuck in your home, unless you open the door at any time during the sanitize cycle. Now you can relax and enjoy your great smelling clothes again! It's truly amazing what a little sanitize tablet meant for a pool can do. Please post back with your results! You can thank me later.
