Replaced door latch part # 131763202 and machine is working fine, but still has a mold problem. I try to keep seal around door dry after washes but clothes still have a moldy smell after washing. We remove the soap try after every wash and dry the seal with paper towels or cloth which is cleaned(through washer). Any help with mold issue that is machine related would be thankful, If there are no mechanical awnsers then the machine should be recalled by frigidaiere (electrolux) or whoever manufacturered it.
Depending on the model of the washer, Frigidaire has updated some of the door seals with improved drain holes to prevent mold & mildew. If the door of the washer isn’t being left open when the washer is not in use, that will also cause mold & mildew to grow. We recommend leaving the door open, and you can also try using Affresh washer cleaning tablet once a month to keep the inside of the washer clean. http://www.partsdr.com/Parts/affresh-washer-cleaner-326.cfm
