I am so glad this has been discussed. I bought a new fridgedare front load and dryer 4 years ago. Hate the washer! Clothes smell sour unless you use vinegar and or baking soda in with the detergent, and you can't soak anything, and you have to wait a minute or two after it shuts off before you can open the door. Grrrrr. Never again will I buy a front loader. So glad I'm not alone on this.
