• Step 1 – Clean gasket: Wipe the door gasket thoroughly, including folds, with a cloth and a mild bleach solution (if compatible with Gram materials) or machine cleaner.
• Step 2 – Clean pump filter: Remove and clean the drain pump filter to eliminate trapped debris causing odor.
• Step 3 – Run hot maintenance cycles: Run an empty 90°C cycle with a suitable washing machine cleaner monthly.
