toploader that got destroyed in the flood, but I had got about 20yr. service out of it without any problems. Now I have a GE front loader and the man that installed it, told me to leave the door open after each wash to keep from smelling. Its only been a month but no smell so far, but thanks for all the tips in case it should begin to smell.

someone to unclog the drain, but dont know who to call yet. I am on fixed income and need to find least expensive plumber. Have any suggestions? Margaret B.
