Washer-dryer combo emits a musty or moldy odor from the drum, especially at the start of a cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before performing deep cleaning around electrical components.

• Run cleaning cycle: Use a washer cleaner tablet or a cup of white vinegar with a hot wash cycle (no clothes) to break down residue.
• Clean door boot: Wipe the bellows folds with a cloth soaked in a mild bleach solution. Remove visible mold and residue.
• Leave door open: After each use, leave the door slightly open to allow the interior to dry.
• Check drain: Ensure the unit drains fully and that no water remains in the tub or boot after cycles.
