The interior rubber ring around the entry has mold on the inside and outside of the rubber. Is there a replacement part for this? Is this a normal happening or question?

Hello, My washing machine lets off a foul odor, my laundry room only has this smell when washing machine is operating. My husband says it is coming from a grill in the back, which is in the center. I have always dumped the remaining water from the dispenser then leave it and the washer door open when not in use and follow manufacturers advice using Affresh in the cleaning cycle when washer calls for it. Would you be able to tell me what is causing this foul odor and how I can eliminate it? Thank you! Donna
For model number MHW5500FC1

Can’t find the drain plug
For model number MHW5500FC1
Hello Steve, Thank you for the question. Checking the model number provided, it does not list a Drain Plug. On the Drain Pump its self there is a "knob" that can be rotated to unscrew and remove to clean the filter for the pump. We hope this helps!

Door locked because of faulty water level switch
First some background. The door locked up the first time when appliance was less than one year old. The "Maytag Repairman" finally succeeded in getting the door open after propping up the front of the machine and fumbling around underneath for a period of time and then assured me the problem was solved. The problem recurred less than a

year later, and I called another repairman who seemed to have an easier time of it, and charged $293.42 to replace the water level switch. About six months later the same problem recurred and I took the cover off the top of the machine and found there a booklet "For Service Technician's Use Only". VERY HELPFUL. Told how extremely easy it was to unlock door - took about five seconds. Replacing the switch itself involved pulling one tubing off and disconnecting one elec connection from old switch and replacing on new switch. Total cost $50 plus a few dollars for shipping.

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.
