How do I remove the drum from this front loader Whirlpool Duet. The clothes stink if left in after wash cycle stops. I want to see inside the drum for mold.

Buckeye, I hope I stpped you before you try to take that front loader apart. Whirlpool front loaders have that problem. I have had alot of customers inquire, and so has whirlpool. There is a product out called "Affresh" it is new, and has been put out by whirlpool. What it is, is a 3 stage cleaner. There are 3 tablets in it, and you run the unit through the cycles, and it will clean your product. Once you do the three tablets, you then only need to do 1 tablet every once in awhile to maintain cleanliness. If this web site does not carry the product, get on whirlpools site, and order it. Greer Appliance Parts, carries also, and so does Mid South appliance Parts. If you need more info, you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom

Denman, it works real well. It also will work for all front loaders. The manufacturer recommends that people should leave the door open after a cycle. But, most people don't. So Wallah--------Affresh!!!!!!!!!! Tom
