Dryer has a musty or moldy smell on clothes after drying

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal areas.

• Clean the drum: Wipe the inside of the drum with a cloth dampened with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Run an empty cycle on high heat to help deodorize.
• Clean lint filter housing: Remove the lint filter and vacuum inside the housing to remove trapped lint and debris.
• Inspect and clean vent: Remove the vent hose and clean it thoroughly. Replace if moldy or damaged. Clean the wall and exterior vent as well.
• Dry clothes promptly: Avoid leaving wet clothes in the drum for extended periods, as this promotes odor.
