Dryer has a musty or moldy odor inside the drum and on clothes.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.

Musty odors are caused by moisture and organic buildup.

• Clean the drum: Wipe the drum interior with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution or white vinegar. Run an empty cycle on high heat to dry.
• Clean lint filter housing: Remove the lint filter and vacuum the housing. Wipe with a damp cloth to remove residue.
• Clean condenser and sump (if applicable): Remove the condenser and rinse thoroughly. Access the sump area and remove lint and standing water. Ensure the condensate pump or drain hose is clear.
• Leave door open between uses: After drying, leave the door slightly open to allow the drum to air out and prevent moisture buildup.
