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
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 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.
