Do you have a smelly or moldy front load washer?

Tips for Preventing Mold & Smelly Problems:

-Always leave the door and dispenser unit slightly ajar after the laundry is done. Front-load washers and the detergent/softener dispenser drawer must dry out.

-Never leave a wet washload in the washer overnight; remove it when the washing cycle is complete and leave the door open.

-After a load is done, always rotate the drum with your hand to see and remove all items. Some could be sticking to top or sides of the washer drum.

-Use softener sheets in the dryer instead of liquid softeners in the washer.

-Liquid detergents may leave less residue than powdered formulas which may not dissolve properly.

-Use less than the recommended detergent level for your load. Too much detergent can cause a residue build up. Experiment until you find a minimum measurement that delivers a clean wash. This is also a money saver.

-Occasionally wash some loads such as whites, linen and towels in warm or hot water to help flush out wash residue.

-Always clean your washer as per your product manual. High efficiency front-load models have a cleaning cycle and it's imperative that you periodically run this cycle as directed.

-Check the gasket just inside the door opening and remove any visible debris. You can also wipe it to speed the drying process.

-Always use HE detergents with high efficiency front-load washers. Specially marked HE laundry detergent is low sudsing and is recommended for these low-water washers.
