A musty washing machine smell is usually mildew in the machine or the drain. Here is the St. Clair Shores guide.
The machine
A front-loader's door seal holds water and grows mildew. Wipe it dry and leave the door open.
The drain
A smelly standpipe means buildup in the drain line.
The fix
Run a cleaning cycle with a washer cleaner, and clean the door seal.
The call
If the drain is the source, clear it. Call 888-217-3585 and St. Clair Shores Plumber Connect will match you with a St. Clair Shores pro.
