Run it through a cycle using distilled white vinegar vinegar and 1/4 cup 20 Mule Team Borax. Always dry the gaskets after laundering.
Avoid use of fabric softeners, which leave a film on the tub.
Always leave doors propped open at least 6".
Always leave detergent drawer fully open after laundering, at least 6 hours.
If you used liquid fabric softener, you'll most likely find a black slime in this compartment. Remove the exterior section and scrub out, then dry. Use Q-Tips if needed to clean all crevices.
Wash it with bleach on a boil cycle. Machine must be empty.
Check owner's manual there maybe a filter that needs cleaned. But the vinegar and hot wash cycle should help.
Unfortunately I can’t find the manual. But great idea. I will try to find one on the net.
I already use vinegar as a softener so I’m not sure how much help a whole wash with it will be.
But i will try anything.
You can smell it as soon as you walk into the room. It is that bad!
