How is this so far down lol

When your front loading washing machine stinks persistently:

• get a bucket and empty the front drain hose
• wipe down all inside the large rubber gasket where the door is
• run a cleaning cycle

Once all this is done, make sure to keep the door open when machine is not in use.

This is about everything you can do to the machine itself without disconnecting the entire machine/moving it/taking it apart. Had mine for more than 10 yrs now and this always works.
