Frigidiare ATF8000FS1 moldy smell - Frigidaire GLTF2940F Front Load Washer

That moldy smell that you get is from all the condensation water sitting in the condensation pan between seasons, if the unit is accessible, you could clean the algae from the pan, also, if the unit is located in a external are, it doesn't hurt to wash the coils with a coil cleaner and water.

It sounds like your leaving the clothes in the washer long after the cycle is finished. Once your clothes smell from the washer they will smell moldy dry.

Replace humidifier media pad (filter) with a new one, and clean interior of humidifier housing with a solution of warm water and vinegar, also replace or clean furnace filter, Good luck.

Same problem here, heavy lime in the water, we had to change to Purex powder with Renezit. Problem is gone!

remove the front and top covers and remove drum belt then drum and vacuum and wash out all lint that couldnt get out during your vent being plugged then leave it apart and fan dry it out thoroughly and put it together

You need to replace the rubber gasket around the front of the door. This gasket holds moisture and over time molds. Give us a call or email us and we;ll be sure to get the correct gasket out to you right away. We hope this helps and we hope to hear back from you real soon.

Try Febreze laundry odor remover...that should help to take away that moldy smell.
