Bump!!
It's amazing, we can make super-computers, put a man on the moon - but no one has figured out how to drain a front loading washer so it doesn't grow mold and mildew. You don't see this issue with top loaders; but this is an issue (that shouldn't be an issue) with front loaders.
Electric front loading LG washer/dryer pair due here on the 18th. They replace a 35 year old Kenmore pair.
