Are there really people who close the washer lid after removing the clothes?

Um, yes. Why wouldn't I if it's never caused ill effects in the past? Like I said, the old front-loading washer never had any of these problems. I've used at least 5 different washers (three top-loading and one front) on a frequent basis in the past, and none of them had mildew issues, I didn't leave any of their doors open, and I never cleaned any of them out.
