Care and Cleaning
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
cleaning procedure below 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 detergent compartment. Select Clean Washer cycle as
described previously in Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive).
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 eff ects of this residue.
Especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum
(including the front rubber seal) may be more eff ectively
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 fl oor 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 and start the washer.
For best results
Immediately follow up with a spin cycle. Select
fresh rinse on max spin speed with no detergent
or bleach to help clear any residual bleach left after the
clean washer cycle.
IMPORTANT
See Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive) for future
cleaning maintenance which is necessary to avoid
repeating issues.
