Clothes have "dirty dishrag" smell after washing

If you open the door of your Neptune, you'll notice a small trough between the door gaskets (inner and outer) There is a drain at the bottom that can get blocked by lint and other funky stuff. Next time you do a load of towels, take a small dirty towel and wipe that area of your machine out real well. Secondly load a slightly smaller load in your machine. Be sure to use a HE compatible soap...less foaming- it does make a difference.. Also the swishy slushy sound is normal and there is liquid in the drum for balancing...it's normal.. I think with a clear door drain, a bit smaller load .you'll find it won't be smelly.. I've got one of these and the only time it gets ordoriforous is when I've jammed it to max capacity. Let me know if all this helps you out. k

Same problem here. I cleaned the seal around the tub and washed a few loads with HOT water and BLEACH! It did stop the washing machine itself from smelling. As for the clothes that already smell really bad.... drying them in the hot sunshine takes the smell out until washed with other still bad smelling clothes (like thick towels). As for my towels and washcloths, I finally just washed them all with BLEACH, no matter what color they were, and it worked great. I didn't care if they were lighter blue or green, just as long as they finally smelled clean!
