- Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty hot wash with a washer cleaner tablet or 1 cup of white vinegar (do not mix with bleach).
- Dry interior: After each use, leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open to allow air circulation.
- Check for standing water: Ensure the drain system is clear so water does not remain in the tub or sump.
