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, maid, 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 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.
