Care & 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. If installed, re-
move the LIQUID ONLY cup from the dispenser.
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 elimi-
nated. 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 eff ects of this residue.
For especially contaminated areas visible inside
the drum (including the front rubber seal), these
areas might be more eff ectively cleaned by
spraying a bleach cleaner on a scrub brush, soft
sponge, or towel and scrubbing.
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.
Immediately follow up with a rinse &
spin cycle. Select max spin with no
detergent or bleach to help clear any residual
bleach left after the clean washer cycle.
