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 detergent compartment. Select clean 

washer cycle as described previously in 

Cleaning (Preventive).

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.

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.

Immediately follow up with a spin only cycle. 

Select fresh rinse on max spin speed with no 

detergent or bleach to help clear any residual 

bleach left after the clean washer cycle.

Press clean washer button to 

enter clean washer cycle.

Turn cycle selector 

to this position.

Always wear rubber or latex gloves and protect fl oor 

and clothing from damage.

See 

Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive) for 

future cleaning maintenance which is necessary to 

avoid repeating issues.

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.

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.
