Only using cool water wash cycles, leaving wet laundry inside the machine for too long, closing the washer door right after removing wet laundry and lack of regular cleaning and maintenance can all cause your washer to smell like mildew over time.

LG and GE are industry leaders when it comes to making high-performing laundry appliances. In fact, the two brands account for many of our favorite washing machines and best clothes dryers.

If you would like to manually soak your garments at any time during the wash portion of the cycle, press Pause and leave the lid closed.

Yes, most top-loading washing machines have filters that need regular cleaning to ensure optimal performance.

If you don't have affresh^® tablets, you may be able to use liquid chlorine bleach. Check your owner's manual as bleach should not be used in certain front load models. Close the door and select your washer's cleaning cycle.

Mix ¼ cup of baking soda with ¼ cup of water and add it to your machine's detergent container. Use four cups of plain white (not apple cider) vinegar to a top-load machine or two cups to a front-load model. Pour the vinegar into the drum. Run a high-temperature cycle.

Common Reasons for Smelly Clothes

Washing machines tend to hold onto stagnant water, especially front loading machines, which can harbor bacteria, limescale, and mold. Leaving the washer door closed traps moisture inside, creating a breeding ground for mildew and bacteria, which can transfer to your clothes.

Solution: Begin by wiping down the interior, gasket, and door with a mixture of warm water and vinegar to kill the microorganisms. Then, run a hot wash cycle with 2 cups of vinegar to sanitize the interior, followed by another hot cycle with 1/2 cup of baking soda to neutralize any remaining odors.

What is the difference between deep wash and deep fill? ›

The Deep Fill option, not to be confused with the Deep Rinse option, will add additional water to the wash cycle regardless of whether you used a manual or a load-sensing fill. The Deep Fill option is a feature offered on several Top Load Washer models.

The most common reasons your Maytag washer is not filling are a clogged water valve assembly, malfunctioning electronic control board or a bad water level pressure switch.

The difference between Auto Sensing and Deep Water Wash, or Deep Fill, is how water usage is determined. Auto Sensing cycles sense how much water is needed based on load size and fills accordingly, while the Deep Fill option fills the wash basket with your choice of deep water levels.

If your washer is plugged into an outlet, simply unplug the unit for one minute and then plug the unit back in. If the washer is hard-wired to the power supply, turn the breaker off at the home electrical panel that powers the washer for one minute and then turn the breaker back on.

How Long is a Quick Wash Cycle? Typically selected for small, lightly soiled loads, the Quick Wash cycle takes between 15–40 minutes to complete depending on the model and brand. Quick Wash Cycle uses shorter periods of more intense washing to clean items quickly.

These washers feature a Pet Pro filter that's built to remove 5x more pet hair,¹ pairing it with additional water and a deep rinse to lift and capture pet hair from clothes. Maytag^® dryers with the Pet Pro option use a no-heat, extended dry time to lift pet hair from clothes, capturing it in the XL lint trap.
