Turn cycle selector to Rinse & Spin 

and then press Clean Washer button 

to enter Clean Washer cycle.

Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other 

household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust 

removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These 

mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can 

cause serious injury or death.

Í

If the Clean Washer cycle is cancelled or paused 

during the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse 

cycles to clean the drum of any residual bleach before 

unlocking the door.

Immediately follow up with a Spin Only 

cycle. Select Extra Rinse on Max Spin 

Speed with no detergent or bleach to 

help clear any residual bleach left after 

the Clean Washer cycle.

In cases where the Clean Washer cycle along with care 

and cleaning of rubber gasket folds isn’t done, and severe 

odor, mold, mildew, or residue buildup have developed, 

follow the below cleaning procedure to help alleviate the 

problem.
CLEANING PROCEDURE - Washer Drum
Ensure the wash tub is empty (or no clothes load). Open 

the detergent drawer and pour eight (8) cups of bleach 

into the “MAIN WASH” detergent compartment. Select 

Clean Washer cycle as described previously in 

Routine Cleaning (Preventative).
Upon cycle completion inspect the interior of the 

washer to see if the odor/residue has been eliminated. 

If any additional cleaning is required, repeat the above 

procedure. This may take several cycles depending on 

the severity of the odor/residue. You may observe some 

remaining discoloration due to the long term effects of 

this residue.
For especially contaminated areas visible inside the drum 

(including the front rubber seal), these areas might be 

more effectively cleaned by spraying a Bleach Cleaner on 

a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing.

Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect fl oor 

and clothing from damage.

If odor is still left after bleach cycle(s) and bleach cleaner, 

open the detergent drawer and pour one (1) pouch 

of TIDE

®

 WASHING MACHINE CLEANER in detergent 

drawer. Select Clean Washer Cycle as above and start 

the washer.

See 

Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventative) for 

future cleaning maintenance which is necessary to 

avoid repeating issues.
