    Ok 👍 I’m proud of this!
    Our washer was moldy and gross. Many suggested tearing apart the machine and soaking the rubber liner. Buying expensive CLR and scrubbing.
    I simply soaked paper towels in bleach - packed liner and layered wet paper towels over mold. I let it sit for 24 hours.
    It worked perfectly.

    Andrea, here is another good tip. When you pull the Landry detergent tray out, look at inside with a flash light at the ceiling of the tray slot and you will find tons of mold and mildew in there. Took me about 2 hours to clean it when I first discovered it. Nobody ever bothers to look at the ceiling they normally just look down the detergent reservoir well.

      You can push down on the middle plastic part of the detergent drawer to get that to come out then you can clean the inside of it in the top and soak the drawer and soapy hot water in the sink

      I agree! I've never had a front loader before, but the new home we bought has one (and no space for a top loader). Had I known the problems it would cause, I would have reconsidered. We now have remodeling plans, including moving the washer to the basement where we can fit top loaders!!

      Modern day fabric softeners and weird soaps that aren’t free rinsing are the culprit. Most soaps back in the day were free rinsing, low potency on cleaning too.

      I use Nellie's laundry soap, old school stuff.. Works very well.. great for hard water too.. recently unrelated tore down my front loader and was surprised how clean it was. No soap buildup or odd stuff on the inner or outer tub.. no smell of odd stuff. I run the tub cleaning mode about every 50 to 60 cycles (recommended 45 to 50)... my inner door seal is always clean too.. I don't do any cleaning of that.. but do leave open after use. That's all I do. (Nothing, not much) and my tear down shows to me the soap is not providing bi product problems and time requirements to maintain. 😁

    I always leave my door & liquid/softner compartment ajar too & it definitely works!! …I also have 2 indoor cats & a man who has a greasy job so once every couple of weeks or so, I throw 1 old towel in there, I put a 100% natural “floor cleaner” (basically it’s just Eucalyptus Oil, purified water & a plant based suctifant) into the liquid compartment & prewash compartment (my machines manual taught me this) & then I run a full cycle WITH prewash & extra rinse on the hottest setting (mine goes to 90°C) & the inside, pipes ect clean themselves!! Throwing a old towel in there helps a lot cause the towel material kind of scrubs the inside of the barrel (mines a front loader BTW), plus although my manual says you can do it without a towel, personally I always grew up being told if you run a machine with absolutely nothing in it, it’s no good for the machine. Unsure if that’s true these days but the towel really helps scrub that barrel clean & the Eucalyptus based natural floor cleaner along with it being on the hottest setting (much more gentle but more effective than bleach in my experience, the brand I use is Earth for anyone interested), really just erases the fortnight’s worth of grease from uniforms & flushes any cat hair caught up through…
    There’s also a “coin trap” you can pull out & clean. It’s behind that little circle cut out along the bottom front of most machines. Sometimes it’s hidden behind a long panel. Not only does it catch things that fall between the seals she’s showing in this video, but you’d be shook how much pet hair, human hair, threads, buttons & so forth get caught up in there too!!
    That’s my 2 cents worth anyway & my positive experiences. I actually learned much of it from the manual. 1st machine I think I’ve ever read the manual of & it was full of bright ideas. I regret I didn’t know with previous machines. 😅😅

    White vinegar unfortunately can actually corrode rubber parts in washing machines so it's best not to use that. Instead you can use a laundry disinfectant and cleaner and use a hot cycle.

    If you just leave the doors open over night that alone will prevent the smell. Hubby didn't listen to me when we first got ours and the smell started. I cleaned it and we did this several more times before he believed me and left the stupid doors open. Now almost ten years later, our washer doesn't have a smell and we do a monthly bleach or vinegar cleaning to keep the build up down.

I spoke to a buddy who repairs appliances. He said use only 1 tablespoon of detergent and no softener. It gunks up. Also I run a hot cycle once a month. Never any issues

  • @ginnyburley9552

    I absolutely despise my front loading washing machine. It is difficult to keep that rubber gasket clean and it’s sloppy looking to keep the door open all the time to keep it dry inside. I think these machines should come with a warning, because that mold that SO easily grows in that gasket is awful and nasty looking. My machine works really well (after 11 years of use), but when I need to replace it, I will get a top loader.

    I have a top loader and we're looking into getting a new washing machine because it is over 10 years old and it getting to the point where we shouldn't repair it we should just get a new one and it looks brand new and it doesn't smell. I never leave the top lid open because it's in my kitchen and I know my kids are going to slam their fingers in the door if it falls on them. The more and looking into a front loader the more work it seems to upkeep it when my top loader I just use a deep clraning kit every couple of months and I just wipe it down every couple loads.

      An occy strap my dude. It's an elastic cord with hooks on each end (just in case it's called something different in your country)
      Hook on your washer door and the other hook tethered to something else 🙂

      She never said what kind of washer it was but I believe it's an LG. I just recently bought a used LG front load washer and dryer, I noticed inside the rubber boot was black and it was Staind into the rubber so the appliance guy I bought them from he replaced the rubber boot and water pump. My regular appliance guy came out to look at my fridge and noticed my LG washer and dryer front-load and he got excited, he said these are the best and that there's no belt that spins the washer so you never have a loose belt. Also there's a magnet in the door that lets the door stay cracked open where it looks like it's shut but it's not and it naturally dries out but it's good to take a paper towel and wipe the Rubber seal and to wipe the inside of the plastic door I love my washer it uses less detergent bleach and softener

    And with only 20-30 minutes of detailed hand cleaning per wash, your washing machine won't smell like rotting oysters.
    It's almost 2022 and engineers haven't figured out a way to create a front loading washing machine that doesn't stink after a few washes?

Unfortunately when it's your parents washer or just yours for you and your partner and not a million children, It might get tough. Or what about front load washers when you try to everything vinegar bleach baking soda everything I even drain it every other load from the bottom and it smells like vomit. I've never experienced this in my life until I got a front load washer. I also have a husband who works underground who gets really dirty and kids that play in the dirt and there's just dirt everywhere on our 5 acre property. Somebody help me cause I'm running out of options and washers are expensive and ours is only 2 years old and out of nowhere it smells like barf and I end up washing clothes 3 or 4 times in a row and a have to drain it from the bottom every time.

    My issue with my front loader washing machine is the soap and fabric dispenser. I pulled the dispenser out and it was covered in mold, top and bottom. What’s bad is with mine I can’t get my hand in the very back where most of the mold accumulates. Also inside the top has so many holes where the water comes through the mold gets inside and I can’t get them completely clean. This is my first front loader and does this happen to anyone else or did I get a lemon? Any ideas on how to remove the mold?

      No I have heard a lot of people with front load washers with detergent dispenser gets moldy if you can't fit your hand in there I would probably just try to spray it with a spray bottle with them vinegar. I use a denture brush to clean because they usually have two sides of bristles one like a toothbrush and then one on the top of it more angled out so that would help get the mold. But you want to leave your detergent drawer open after every load and pull it out and wipe it and let air flow get to it.
