38 Care and Cleaning Inside cleaning (aggressive) In cases where clean washer cycle along with care and cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn't done, and severe odor 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. Open the detergent drawer and pour eight cups of bleach into the Main Wash detergent compartment. Select clean washer cycle as described previously in Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventative). 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 See Inside Routine Cleaning for future cleaning maintenance which is necessary to avoid repeating issues. Three Compartment Preventative Cleaning Adaptive Dispenser™ Preventative Cleaning IMPORTANT Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect floor and clothing from damage.

Select max spin with no detergent or bleach to help clear any residual bleach left after the clean washer cycle.
