omigosh-I LOVED my calypso-i think that thing rocked!(I moved to New Zealand and couldn't take it with me) If I used my Calypso with Bio Kleen and Vinegar in the rinse, I had the cleanest smelling clothes ever. And the cycle was only 47 minutes long! My front loader takes almost 2 hours. *sigh*
I can't help you with the poopy mess, but I know with a front loader you really need to use high efficeiency soap-Bio Kleen works great. And once a month I would run a super hot wash cycle with Vinegar without clothes. It helps get soap residue out. And strip your dipes...use hot(very hot) water and vinegar and run them through a few cycles-to start fresh. If you wash dipes more often-and have a smaller load it mmight not be so much of a mess. Soap residue is what makes the dipes hold smell. I experienced this all with my front loader.
and if you have and extra place to store poopy dipes...you could store wet separate from poop. Then when you wash, put the poopy ones in first, run them on a cold prewash. Then add the wet ones, run them through a hot wash and intensive rinse cycle with vinegar. Or whatever wash routine works for you.
You do have to clean the O ring once in a while.
HTH!
