That's the same story I got from my repairman. Do you know what
Maytag's 'cure' for models made thereafter was? A couple of little
'drainage holes' in the rubber door seal.
My washer is proof that they don't work. I thought it had sprung an
oil leak, that's how black the mold is, big blobs, and I can't get rid
of it. Haven't heard the Cascade story, but I'll give it a try, thanks.

I am shocked that they didn't do better than that for you,
because they certainly knew what the problem was, and it
was poor engineering. I hope the Cascade is helpful -- in
fact, I'm sure that it will be, but it will be a recurring
problem, I'm afraid. It's true that water stays in the
botton of the machine, but that is also true of toploaders
and dishwashers. The problem, I understand, is sufficient
ventilation to prevent mold growth.

Come to think of it, I'll run some dishwasher detergent
through my Maytag again, because it's been a while.
Better safe than sorry. Oh, run it hot, too.
