    I have a Whirlpool machine and it has a lint filter which I clean maybe once a year. It's never all that bad...
    I never had a problem with smell or gunk build-up. I never wipe the lip, but sometimes I might find a loose button there. But I always leave the door open between washes. The only thing I need to clean every month or so is the detergent dispenser drawer.
    Oh, and I've had my machine for almost 5 years.
    However, since Friday, it's been making funny sounds, so I'll be looking at the filter an hoses and hopefully pull out a sock and then the machine might be fine again... crossing my fingers.

    We got a Whirlpool a few weeks ago, it sometimes gets a bit of water in the seal at the front but we just wipe it away then leave the door open so the barrel can dry out- that's what they recommend in the manual, will also stop it from smelling.

    well mine is an lg. Love the wash it does but I am not really happy about the amount of water that collects in the door seal. I try and remember to wipe it out, but can't leave it open to dry very much as my laundry is in the rumpus room
