    Also take the detergent drawer out periodically and clean inside and out (especially beneath) and finally always leave the door ajar after a washing cycle to allow the interior (drum) to dry - inhibiting the formation of damp/mildew/mold.. Cheers for your video Lurgs 👍👍👍👍👍

      Afraid not, it's very common. Just wipe it after every wash to clear any hairs or debris. Also leave Drum door and dispenser drawer slightly open after each wash, this helps with ventilation and prevents mould build up.

    I bought my front loading washing machine in 2015 and I was a bit scared of the mold issue I have always heard about with front loaders. Thankfully I figured out that if I dry the door and the rubber ring after I finish laundry for the day and leave the door open over night I do not have any mold issues. I also leave the detergent drawer slightly open to let it dry out too. I do not have any small children at home so I have no worries about anyone climbing in the washer. We have very hard water in my area so about once a month I will run a vinegar cycle to clear any hard water crystals out of my washer and I also run a tub clean. These steps help keep my washer running and looking like new.

      @LurgsHowToGuides soap kills bacteria. We don't need to wash our hands in scalding water. When we wash our clothes using soap the friction of the clothes and soap on the drum would clean it. To test for the presence of bacteria in the washer, simply spray with hydrogen peroxide. If it foams, there's bacteria.
