Got a Maytag front load washing machine. Had it for about 5 years now. Runs great. Made in West Germany. Only problem , is that there is black mold on the rubber seal where the door closes around. Tried everything get it off, but no luck. When I pressed that rubber seal over, I noticed A LOT of crud on the white plastic piece that goes all the way around the drum. That comes off with some scrubbing. There is a bit of a smell . Also, the soap dispenser is coated with iron stains. Can't seem to get them off the plastic..
How do those top load HE washers compare to the front loaders ? Pros? Cons ?
