I bought a Bosch washing machine and dryer about one year ago. The mold began to grow on the rubber gasket used to seal the door almost immediatey. The Dealer said to run bleach through the machine periodically which I did but still the mold grew. Multiple inquires to the dealer went unanswered ( Standards of Excellence_San Diego), referred to the manufactuers rep.....rude , unhelpful,non responsive. I am in the market to replace both.....buyer beware!!!!
