Inside Cleaning (Aggressive)

In cases where the CLEAN WASHER cycle along with care and cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn’t done, and severe odor, mold, mildew, or residue buildup have developed, follow the below cleaning procedure to help alleviate the problem.

CLEANING PROCEDURE - Washer Drum

Ensure the wash tub is empty (or no clothes load). Open the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of bleach into the “MAIN WASH” detergent compartment. Select CLEAN WASHER cycle in the specialty cycles section.

Upon cycle completion inspect the interior of the washer to see if the odor/residue has been eliminated. If any additional cleaning is required, repeat the above procedure. This may take several cycles depending on the severity of the odor/residue. You may observe some remaining discoloration due to the long term effects of this residue.

For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum (including the front rubber seal), these areas might be more effectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.

IMPORTANT

Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect floor and clothing from damage.

If odor is still left after bleach cycle(s) and bleach cleaner, open the detergent drawer and pour one (1) pouch of TIDE® WASHING MACHINE CLEANER in detergent drawer. Select CLEAN WASHER cycle as above and start the washer.

For best results

Immediately follow up with a spin only cycle. Select extra rinse on max spin speed with no detergent or bleach to help clear any residual bleach or cleaner left after the CLEAN WASHER cycle.

IMPORTANT

See Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventative) for future cleaning maintenance which is necessary to avoid repeating issues.

PRESS SPECIALTY CYCLES BUTTON, THEN ROTATE CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB TO CHOOSE CLEAN WASHER CYCLE.
