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 detergent compartment on the left. 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 e
ff
ects of this residue.
For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum
(including the front rubber seal), these areas might be
more e
ff
ectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on
a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.
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.
IMPORTANT
See
Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)
for future
cleaning maintenance which is necessary to avoid
repeating issues.
IMPORTANT
Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect
fl
oor

NOTE
If the
Clean Washer
cycle is cancelled or paused during
the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse cycles to
clean the drum of any residual bleach before unlocking
the door.

household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These
