My husband and I were talking about it again a few days ago and think that there is a build up in the machine from the liquid softener and liquid HE detergent that doesn't get washed away and might be the source of the mold. We think this because when I removed and cleaned out the soap dispenser I noticed how really hard it was to get all three compartments clean--there was a sticky pinkish/yellow film on areas in the dispenser. Bleach didn't dissolve the film only my scrubbing with a plastic pad. I read about Affresh and think that is a good idea, but what about using just plain old powdered electric dishwasher detergent? That stuff does a real good job of dissolving gunk. I'm going to try that first. We've also decided that were not going to use the soap dispenser anymore and were also not going to use any liquid softener or liquid HE detergent because we think that just raises the gunk factor which is a surface for the mold form on.
