Washer has a strong moldy or musty odor, especially in front-load models.

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

Step-by-step cleaning:

• 1. Clean door boot: Wipe the rubber gasket with a cloth soaked in a 1:1 vinegar and water solution or a washer-safe cleaner. Pull back folds to remove trapped debris.
• 2. Clean drain filter: Remove and clean the drain pump filter of lint and sludge.
• 3. Run cleaning cycle: Run the hottest cycle with an empty drum using a washer cleaner tablet or 1 cup of bleach (do not mix with other cleaners).
• 4. Leave door open: After each use, leave the door slightly open to allow the interior to dry.
