Washer has a musty or moldy odor inside the tub or around the door.

Safety First: Unplug the washer before cleaning internal rubber parts. Avoid mixing cleaning chemicals.

• Step 1 – Run a cleaning cycle: Use a washer cleaner tablet or 1 cup of white vinegar on the hottest, longest cycle with no clothes.
• Step 2 – Clean door gasket (front-load) or tub rim (top-load): Wipe with a cloth and a mild bleach solution to remove visible mold and residue.
• Step 3 – Leave door/lid open: After each use, leave the door or lid open to allow the interior to dry.
• Step 4 – Clean dispenser: Remove and wash the dispenser drawer and housing to remove buildup.
