[quote=Anonymous]You seriously want to mask the mold smell instead of cleaning out the mold? That's not healthy, OP. Also be aware that some people in your house might be allergic to softener. We can't use it in my house.

You need to review what makes your house prone to mold accumulation, and also directly address the mold in the washer:

1. For the house, keep your A/C on or run a dehumidifier during humid months of the year.

2. For the washer: Wipe down the gasket parts of the door every time you use your washer - I guarantee there's going to be gunk in there. Keep the door open all the time when you're not using it. You can also regularly run a cycle on the hottest setting with bleach or vinegar in addition to those two things.

3. If you're desperate, buy a top loader. As soon as my fancy front-loader started malfunctioning, I threw it out instead of fixing it because it was getting annoying to do all the above. I purposefully bought the most basic top loader in the store (no digital gizmos whatsoever), and it's worked beautifully, no mold. I always use the delicate setting, because since it's very basic and rugged, I'm afraid it might shred my clothes otherwise.
