Anybody ever had this happen ? For awhile, I've been noticing a nasty
smell come out of my washing machine when the water starts flowing.

I poured a cup or two of bleach in, filled the tub about 1/4 full, let it sit
awhile, and then ran the rest of the cycle. Problem remains.

I guess there must be some funkiness in the mechanisms where the water
comes into the machine, maybe even in the hoses. Weird. I guess I have
to disconnect the hoses, somehow get bleach into them, and in the intake
"manifold" of the machine.

Thoughts ? Thanks !

P.S. It's a 20-year old Maytag top-loader.
