I also love my front load washer. When I bought this machine the dealer advised me not to use color catchers. Keeping the washer clean eliminates any odor. The only problem I have found is that I cannot dye fabric in this washer as it does not use enough water.

Thank you for sharing this information. We will be buying a new washer soon and this is something I had not thought about. I am sure there are other small items such as hankies, ribbons, fabric belts and such that might also be a problem.

Good information, I have a front loader washer and love it, but I have to keep the door open and wash it out often,
the machine smells, the gasket around the door and drum the say causes it. I use white vinager in it and wash with to clean.

Placing them in one of the lingerie laundry bags is also a great way to prevent their going into the drain or pump of the washer. I do this with the "footies" I put over my toes when I wear open heeled walking shoes.
