We have the fix and there is no mildew whatsoever after it. By the way, I
examined the removed components when the fixed were done and the mildew
problem was pretty much all up front and easily cleaned. We never
considered it much of a problem.... we just kept the low part of the rubber
seal clean and dry after laundry.

Did people who had this problem leave the door ajar when the washer
wasn't in use?

I don't do that for my top loader or for my dishwasher, but would have
made a difference in this case, without doing the fix?

She advises us (again) to buy a front loading washer, as they never
build up fibers that stink and rot. Plus she ads that no one sells top
loading washers anymore, anyway. Our washer is about 6 years old, I
think.

don't know about the current batch, but the original Maytag
front-loader Neptunes, even after the factory authorized retrofit of a
different door gasket, are major mildew breeders because they never
drain and dry the door gaskets completely. I mean, really repulsive,
even with periodic bleaching and all. So dont believe your salescritter.
