Man this is the one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. It's not fancy edited to make it look all professional! He hit record and even showed when something he tried didn't work. You don't get that with other more professional videos. I really appreciate the whole picture even when something didn't work and he tried something else. Great step by step instructions! I am about to go try this and I know it will work for my smelly mold ridden washing machine. Great Video Sir!!

@paulseidl4335 2 года назад

It's amazing that the manufacturer wouldn't provide consumers the maintenance required on their high end products...especially when it was engineered for great performance but inferior to aftermarket issues like mold/mildew, especially in a washer...How many people would do the cleaning like in this video before ditching the machine? Shame on the brand/manufacturers for hiding facts that consumers need...Like recalls for automobiles with issues!

@steveo601 Год назад

We just bought a really nice LG washer and dryer. WiFi. 2 loads in and cloths smell great. You could all but see sewer gas coming out of the old one. Learning how to take the tub out through these video’s. The manufacturer’s should design a way to get to the outside of that tub to clean it. Planned obsolescence at it’s finest!!!!!!!!

I’d like to second this!! My Samsung is 2 years old and after a year it started leaving literal dirt and grime on all my clothes that I stopped using it for about six months now. Today I decided to try to take it apart after countless attempts of cleaning it with vinegar, baking soda , and self cleaning cycles. I’m trying this as my last resort. Best video I’ve seen out of many on Samsungs that have mold and dirt not too long after being purchased ( with weekly maintenance).

Use a screwdriver to pick up the agitator plate from the center not from the sides. I had consistently been using the Affresh tablets and stopped using fabric softener. The thing is when I did take a look at the drum is was basically squeaky clean already so…if you’re consistently doing the cleaning tablets you could probably skip this. Though I really appreciate how instructive this video is.

Thanks for the video. I recently had to do this to my old Samsung due to moldy flakes getting in our laundry. You wouldn’t believe the amount of filth in that thing. I can live with it if nasty buildup is just an inherent problem with top-load washers, but you’d think the manufacturer could at least make these easier to take apart so we can clean them.

@wildwoodtop 2 года назад

I feel your pain! They should have rinse Jets between the wash drum and the outer Barrel that are activated during rinse cycle to solve this problem 🙂

@evankam28 Год назад

Uugh, and don't forget the detergent dispenser/holder. Can't take it out without nearly prying your own fingers off your hand!

@danriemz Год назад

Excellent video! Made disassembling and cleaning my washing machine easy. Any suggestions for preventing build up from accumulating again?

@wildwoodtop Год назад

Usually a deep clean cycle every month will keep your washer clean. However liquid detergents are known for clinging to the wash tub/barrel creating substantial build up overtime which will lead to an unpleasant odor. Powder detergent might be a better option (They should have rinse Jets between the wash drum and the outer Barrel that are activated during rinse cycle to solve this problem 🙂

@ItsJoytastic 2 года назад

This is so encouraging to see that my washer can be taken apart. I made the mistake of washing some filthy muddy clothes in there recently and now I’m contending with residual sand. I’ve run 2 clean cycles (one with bleach to get rid of any potential bacteria) but still see evidence of sand. I know it can be damaging to the washer and clog up the drain pipe. Is it worth pulling the whole washer apart to rid it of the sand, or just the bottom cover and vacuum what I can see?

@wildwoodtop 2 года назад

Make sure it's good and dry then remove the cover and vacuum (wet sand will not vacuum very well) this would give you a visual of how much is actually in the bottom. However each time you do a load of wash the sand would be diluted in the water and eventually exit via drain cycle (sand mixed with water shouldn't clog your plumbing system)
