lol i believe we have the same washer ( i have the ge profile), i'm not having that problem but just wanted to let you know that there is a cash for clunkers with appliances. i got a $50 rebate visa card in the mail from the government. i live in michigan so your rebate may be a different amount. any new applicance that is energy star. maybe you can add alittle oxyclean to your load if your sons skin can't handle bleach. good luck. oh i think you can google cash for clunkers for applicances and get the rebate info.
