Washer has a strong moldy or musty odor, especially from the drum or door gasket.

Safety first: Wear gloves and ensure good ventilation when using cleaning chemicals.

• Clean gasket: Pull back the door gasket folds and wipe thoroughly with a cloth soaked in a mild bleach solution or washer cleaner. Remove lint and debris.
• Run cleaning cycle: Use a commercial washing machine cleaner or 1–2 cups of white vinegar and run the hottest, longest cycle with the drum empty.
• Clean pump filter: Remove and clean the drain pump filter to eliminate trapped lint and stagnant water.
• Dry after use: Leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open between washes to allow the interior to dry and prevent mold growth.
