| kbcatlanta's Full Review: Bosch Axxis+ WFR 2460 Front Load Washer |
I'm very disappointed with this washer. After 1 year it began to develop a mold and mildew problem around the door gasket. This requires constant cleaning. You have to wipe out any water sitting inside the gasket after every load of laundry . The manufacturer suggests running vinegar or bleach through it on a regular basis and leaving the door open. Who has time to wash their washing machine? The mold has left black stains on the gray rubber gasket which are unsightly. I think this is an issue that should be mentioned in the owners manual, but is not. I've also spoken with several service providers and they are reluctant to give me any idea of the cost to replace the gasket, only saying that it's very costly. I will not purchase any more Bosch appliances.
