I have a Whirlpool Gold Ultimate Care II, Commericial Quality, Super Capacity Plus...it smells. No really it has a terrible odor. It's a sour foul smell. Water and detergent and various clothes washing leftovers get trapped under the rubber flap around the tub, I guess, I clean and scrub it and deoderize it...but it still smells. I can smell it all over my home. HELP!!!

Whirlpool now has cleaning tablets to take the smell out washers. They say they are for HE front load machine but it works on all machines. They are called affresh washer tablets. Just buy some and put all three tablets in the tub with hot water and let the washer go through a cycle with just the tablet(no clothes). By putting all three in the washer at one time it will kill the smell. For later use the package is a three month supply. They cost under 10 dollars.

My whirlpool ultimate Care II Heavy Duty Super Capacity Plus washer Very slightly agitates and don't spin dry

The motor coupler may be broken. Many Whirlpool®-manufactured washers use a small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. You may need to replace it.

WHat is the capacity of the Whirlpool LLR9245BQ1 top load washer?

Hello there
  • Washer Type: Washer
  • Load Type: Top Load
  • Volume Capacity: 3.2 cu/ ft
is one of the better, super-sized porcelain-on-steel wash basket, combined with the Xtra roll action plus agitator, which ensures that your really big loads get really clean! The dual action of the Xtra Roll Action Plus agitator rolls even huge loads to the bottom of the wash basket where cleaning takes place. It can effectively roll over and clean twice the average size load! Plus, wash fewer loads to save time, money and energy! Ultimate Care washers offer both five and six speed combinations providing flexibility for the future in fabric care. Plus, the easy-to- use consoles makes it simple to select the desired wash/spin speed combination. And the enhanced agitator vanes ensure clothes roll over for consistent cleaning -

MACHINE STOPPED - BURNING SMELL COMING FROM WASHER

The burning smell is from your coupling and when this breaks the rubber spins across the plastic face of the opposite coupling. Your washer will not wash or spin until this is replaced. fortunately these are cheap and easy to replace. Refer to my step by step instructions to replace yours.
Here is the guide:

Sour clothes smell from washer

Until you can find the filter (I'll investiate!) I suggest running it on hot hottest wash you can (empty) with just bleach. That at least should kill the bacteria that are causing the smell
