My washer is a Bosch WFK2401. I have seen some nasty pictures of the outside of the inside drum as well as the inside of the outside tub showing a thick layer of scum impregnated with mold. Is this the exception or the rule? Also some posters have talked about the internal hoses being gunked up like blocked coronary arteries. It appears that hard water, too much soap and lots of fabric softener aggrevate this problem which is not situation but I always close the door and have never wiped the seal (until reading up on the subject).
I am trying to understand how bad the problem may be where I cannot see in the machine. I would just crack the case and take a look but the unit is installed in a boat and r/r is a bear. Also, I have to be very careful what chemicals that I use because I am sensitive.
Thanks,
George
