Mildew odors in washing machines are often caused by trapped moisture, detergent residue, poor airflow, or buildup inside the washer drum and seals.

Front load washers may be especially prone to odor concerns when moisture remains inside the appliance after operation. Regular cleaning and ventilation can help reduce mildew-related issues.
