Whirlpool Duet, Duet Sport and Duet HT front loaders all have a terrible mold and mildew smell during the wash that consumers have brought a class action suit against the company. I thought I was going crazy and it was my septic.I have had to throw out towels because the dishcloth or dish towel would smell coming out of the dryer! I couldn't understand it. I thought it was the kind of towel (microfiber ones). I had the technician come out and he said it was from my 2x concentrate detergent but my washer was fine. The clothes do not clean well and I would never buy Whirlpool again because my dishwasher also does not do a good job cleaning my dishes. I use to love Whirlpool products 15 years ago but after having this washer for only 3 years, I will never buy any Whirlpool item again. Since I just found out about the class action suit and what other consumers have gone through, I now have to go buy another machine because I can not expose my family to mold and mildew on their clothes. It is too dangerous for long term effects. Don't buy these products!
