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

 ects of this residue.

For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum 

(including the front rubber seal), these areas might be 

more e

 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 

and clothing from damage.

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.
