A:Answer I follow the instructions religiously and have not had any odor problems, even after a year of use. I use HE detergent only, I leave the door open after each cycle, and I run the "tub-clean" function on a monthly basis, which steam cleans the drum and the seals eliminating any areas of potential odor. After drying, being a ventless washer/dryer combo, clothes lint does accumulate in the door and seal, so you will have to wipe it out after each wash/dry cycle. Considering how much space and energy this model saves me, I am willing to put up with the wiping part. Many thanks.
