[quote=Anonymous]The washer and the dryer don’t smell when they are empty and dry, right? Do they smell once you’ve run a load and you open the washer to move the clothes to the dryer? Do the clothes smell at that point? When the dryer cycle finishes and you immediate the clothes out, they smell, right? Does the dryer drum smell at this point?

I’m wondering if you have moldy water coming into the washer (this happens with water lines for fridge icemakers) or like someone else said you have something in the dryer vent. When was the last time you changed the supply lines for the washer? Have you disconnect them and run the washer water into a bucket to see if the water smells? When was the last time you had the entire vent from the end of your dryer to the exterior of your house cleaned out?

If you put a brand new article of clothing or towel  in the washer and then dryer by itself, does it smell after the first wash?

How old is the washer and did the smell exist as soon as the washer was installed or over time?[/quote]
