I too have had the moldy smell and stained clothes - bought Tide machine cleaner and hoping that will do the trick as soon as I can get it operational again. Spoke with a service rep who advised the reason the machine was *not running continously, not spinning throughly, spinning violently when it does, smoking, and not leaving clothes clean and fresh smelling* was that the drain was clogged. I removed the bottom panel and emptied the drain and I believe that for the minimal amout of water and 3 nails and VERY small amount of lint this is not the only cause to my problems. I can't get the rest of the front panel off to inspect the drum and belt {which what I anticipate was smoking during another earth shattering spin cycle} but I am concerned about putting it all back together only to have to take it apart again to start over. Not that I'm weak but I'm a girl and this really isn't my area of expertise. Any help, suggestions or similiar stores would be greaty APPRECIATED. Sure don't want to do this again anytime soon. Thanks everyone...:confused:

If there is any restriction in the draining or pumping of water these machine have all sorts of problems. Here is the service manual which will be of some help. http://appliancejunk.com/ge/washer/31-9135.pdf Good luck
