Be sure to check the rubber door seal after unloading your washer. Pull the seal back to search for any foreign objects. Residual metal objects such as pins and coins may form rust stains on rubber seal, and cause the seal to leak.
Wipe the stained areas with soapy water using a damp cloth. Then wipe with a dry cloth properly. Do not use an
abrasive scrubbing agent when cleaning rubber seal.

Do not use abrasive materials while cleaning the inner surface of the drum. Use soapy water with a damp cloth to wipe the inner surface, then dry it and leave the door open to let inside dry properly.
