Possible Causes
- Using non-premium detergent or insufficient detergent
- Frequent cold wash cycles
- Washer needs to be cleaned
How to Fix
- Use a good quality detergent and an appropriate amount for your load size and type to wash your items effectively and reduce build-up in the washer. Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent label to ensure you are using the correct amount.
- Do regular warm or hot wash cycles to remove or prevent build-up and keep the washer fresh.
- Do a drum clean cycle when prompted to clean the washer. Use a premium washing machine cleaner and follow the instructions on the packet.
Helpful Tips
- For front loader washers, wipe the door seal with a soft cloth and remove any lint or debris. Remember to leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow the machine to dry out.
- Do a drum clean cycle more often if you use Eco detergent or do frequent cold washes as these may lead residue to build up more quickly.
