A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell.
The Clean Washer cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or other cleaner
designed specifically for cleaning front load washers.
The Clean Washer cycle should be run once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if
odor is present.
For powdered tub cleaners, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer. Place
tablet cleaners directly into the tub. Always follow the cleaner manufacturers instructions and
