Maytag Neptune Washer Review

I purchased the Maytag Neptune front loading washing machine after having a top loader for years that I had a good experience with so I thought I'd buy another Maytag.  Big mistake!  It washes clothes fine but boy does it stink!  The rubber gasket is black with mold that will not come off.  I run a load with bleach about once a week washing old rags, tried cleaning the gasket and nothing works.  I was not notified of the class action lawsuit until I started doing some research on this and found out accidentily and unfortunately too late.  I refuse to pay a repairman plus I've heard it just comes back.  I'm looking to purchase a new machine but after reading about three manufacturers who have lawsuits against them on the new front loading machines, I will stick with another top loader.
