Wow, we’ve had our Whirlpool front loader for 8 yrs now and from time to time I have wiped inside that seal. We’ve always left our washers open as far as I can remember as a child. Never had a smell or mold problem whatsoever either on top or front loaders. It definitely makes 100% difference to get into the habit of just leaving the door open 100% of the time when not in use.

@btshomedition Год назад

You're absolutely correct. When the moisture is trapped, its got no where to go!

@الوفاءوالتوفيقمناللهمهندسحسامل Год назад

@mels8966 Год назад

I leave the draw slightly open as well to prevent mould growing in the draw compartment. When we used to leave it closed, we had a problem with mould growing in the top of the draw compartment blocking the water jets and had to regularly clean it with a steamer. As well as leaving the door open, I also use a washing powder that contains oxygen bleach, which is a highly effective microbiocide. When I stripped my machine down to change the bearings after 10 years use, I didn't find any mould or bacterial grime on the inside, it was nice and clean and smell free. The only issue was a few areas with limescale deposits from not descaling it for well over a year. I suspect the same measures also helped to prevent the aluminium alloy spider in my machine from corroding.

I just picked up a second hand washing machine that I intended to use. Mould on the door seal of course. I mixed up soda crystals and bleach to toothpaste consistency. Applied liberally, left it for 15 mins. Cleaned off with sponge, done it again and the seal was like new. Not a single spore of black mould. Cheap as chips, and the whole process was less than an hour but mainly waiting, no scrubbing what so ever!

Closed the door, eh? When I bought mine, 8 years ago, the appliance man told me never leave it closed. Leave the dispenser open, as well. My hero! I wrapped a roll of paper towels with a red bandana, my laundry room accent color, and gently wedge it under to keep the door open just a bit. It’s as clean as when I bought it.

It would be nice if these washers had a "dry drum" button that you can press after you take the clothes out.

Well, with the amount of years front loaders have been around and no sign of that innovation on the horizon. They would probably rather sales from replacing the entire gasket to continue happening. 😄

@mels8966 10 месяцев назад

You can get at least one US model with a fan in it so you don't have to leave the door open - I think it is called Ultra fresh. Also some uk washer dryers (which I wouldn't consider buying) run their fan after a wash if you do a wash without the drying cycle, although possibly that's to stop the aluminium fan corroding.

@mels8966 10 месяцев назад

GE ultrafresh, got microban seals as well, but I bet the button is still no as effective as leaving the door and draw open! 😀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sNaNh8MC_3M.html

That being said, you can absolutely, 100000% never have to deal with mold if you leave the door cracked and use appropriate amounts of powder detergent.

@samg4705 2 месяца назад

⁠@@linandy1Just get a top load washer and leave the door open all the time. Front load washer has seals that trap wet air. So mold will come back if the front load washer is placed in basement or anywhere humidity level is high. Even if you kill the mold with chemical, some of dead mold is likely to stay. The only way to get rid of mold is chemically and physically removing it. Then let the dry air flows around.

@alexlindsey6446 10 месяцев назад

like your video but I'd caution everyone to at least understand that ZEP product you demonstrate on that mildew infested gasket at the beginning is basically highly concentrated bleach. I own a commercial laundromat and I wound not use that stuff due to risk of leftover residue and ruining of customers clothes. Bleach is a big no no for my business. Too much can go wrong. At home? I use it. But there's other ways to get rid of that mold. 91% rubbing alcohol works. Odo-Ban will work over time if used consistently. Ammonia works. Bleach is a harsh chemical. I'd be careful.

@btshomedition 10 месяцев назад

If you wash out the bleach after soaking, there won't be any issues. Either way, the ZEP didn't remove the mold so most people will not be using that product to solve their problems. 😁

I always leave the door open instead of closing it tightly when the washer is not in use, I've never had mold in my washer. Regular cleaning and running it on the "clean washer" cycle once a month keeps it clean, I also quit using liquid fabric softener because it gums up the working parts.

@rhnkm 8 месяцев назад

You sure we have to give up on liquid soaps? Because as I've read somewhere liquid detergents are best for cloths in front loads being soft on cloths! Even our LG washer manual suggested not to use liquid detergent. I've a couple of bottles of liquid detergents- about 2 litres now. I'll buy powder ones. But when I used powders, the smell was really strong from washer though. Very confusing. I've heard extra detergent (powder) leaves more mould.

@btshomedition 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! So you don't use any fabric softener at all?

@jennypena4679 Год назад

My front load washer has a magnetic device to keep door open but even that's closed too much and still smells the next day so i just keep the door wide open along with the detergent compartment after every load and just everyday in general. Even after a few days or even a week without doing laundry, you'd think it's dry enough to close the door but nope! It still smells if you close the washer door at anytime so mine stays open all the time when not in use.

@jonathannocon 8 месяцев назад

Most ppl thinks their washing machine (or any cleaning device for that matter) works like magic or something. This is one of the reason why the manufacturer(s) recommend to run a tub clean every 60 or so cycles with bleach/baking soda to prevent escalating issues like mold, bacteria(s) growth, etc… Nothing fancy, just bleach ought to suffice or vinegar for those green folks. Granted, you happen to have a horribly designed silicone bellow/seal hence that prob.

Mold and bad smells is a common issue with front load washers, yet they are what most people want and pay big $$$ for. I don’t understand this. Top load washers have been around for over 50 years and don’t have theses issues. They clean just as well if not better and usually are less expensive.

@btshomedition Год назад

Great point. Depending on the house layout, a stackable pair may be the best option with limited space. Also sometimes the laundry room is right by the garage door so esthetically, it looks better. But as you mentioned from a functional perspective, the top load does the job just fine!

The mold disappeared after using the gel a few times.

I have self cleaning option with my front loader, I always do dark clothes first then white clothes with bleach and I’ve never had mold. It helps if you live in the desert Southwest where the humidity is never over 15% except maybe a few weeks in August, always keep the door a few inches open

Hello! I just purchased the gel mold remover. Do you run a hot cycle once the product has been left overnight or are you just wiping it away?

@btshomedition Год назад

After wiping it off, it surely wouldn't hurt to run a hot cycle. Did the mold go away after leaving it overnight?

Is this mold hazardous for health?

@btshomedition 8 месяцев назад

That's a good question, I'm not sure.

@Emy53 Месяц назад

Also, dry that rubber area after your final wash. Never ever close the door after your wash is finished.

I tried cleaining it also. BOSCH 300 SERIES, $29.99 replace the rubber Casket. Takes 30 min to replace it. No screws, no tools needed. No worth cleaning it, when it looks like that! I tried for 2 weeks. Wasted a lot of time

@btshomedition 8 месяцев назад

That's a great option depending on what machine you own. In my case, the gasket was about $100 and the time to change it would be closer to 1.5 - 2 hours. So great option for your situation for sure! 😎

I never had mould in my front loader I wipe it out especially after washing cat products blankets etc. I just use a wet cloth I leave the door and soap container open Also I take out the soap container wash it and clean where it goes.

I saw someone use 50% bleach solution and baking soda paste to remove mold around kitchen sink. I think they do similar thing.

What we are going to be doing is leaving the washer door open when no in use

@btshomedition Год назад

That's a great option for prevention!

@johndoe-vc1we 10 месяцев назад

I'm sure just 50-50 clorox and water would have worked too. What the video brought out is how long any cleaning product needs to be in contact with the seal like a day or more depending how bad and that several applications may be necessary

@btshomedition 9 месяцев назад

True Story. If you never let it get this bad, then maintenance is quick and easy. If it gets bad, multiple applications must be done until the problem is fixed!

So all you need to do is, do exactly as the manufacturer suggested and these problems will most likely never show their moldy faces.

The key is to let air dry out the bellows after each wash. I have not had this issue since leaving the washer door open.

Why not just use the tabs, and WIPE the gunk out with a cloth saturated in hydrogen peroxide, bleach etc ?

@btshomedition 3 месяца назад

Because the mold had gone too far already.

@gregcrabb3497 Год назад

Everyone should stop the cold water washes, use good detergent, and at least one load of items with chlorine bleach a couple of times a week. I've had a FL washer since 1997 (same washer all these years) following the above and have never seen a speck of mold in it.

@JenniferAguiartampa Год назад

You need to just take the entire gasket off. It’s not hard. Then soak in hot water with vinegar. Scrub with toothbrush. Let completely dry before reinstalling gasket. Leave door open. With mold that bad, you also need to take the drum apart and clean it also.

@btshomedition Год назад

I have already replaced this gasket before and it does take a decent amount of work to take off and reinstall. So this is an option to fix the issue but more importantly, stop the issue from ever occurring. For anyone who want to disassemble the unit to soak the gasket, @JenniferAguiartampa has provided a great procedure to take care of your problem. Thanks for sharing. 😃

@indigocrayon520 Год назад

It's hard for me, I don't have a sink big enough to soak it, and only have a shower, no tub 😒 (maybe my landlord will do it at his place)

@philcolbert7864 Год назад

best way is to remove the gasket completely,

@btshomedition Год назад

I already replaced the gasket once. Needed a better and faster way to clear up the mold

@zabraevalentine4475 Год назад

How do you do this?? I'm honestly not particularly concerned about the mold stain, but our gasket just gets a build up of slimy grossness, that is tucked in the dark crevices that are impossible to really get to, to clean out thoroughly - drives me NUTS. (DO not understand what these things are not designed to be more easily cleaned...) I would LOVE to be able to just remove the whole gasket and clean it that way.... ?? Thanks!! (PS I always leave the door open - makes it less bad that were it shut, but does not remotely prevent all of this gunk and mold etc from building up.... as you all know) !

@philcolbert7864 Год назад

@@zabraevalentine4475 it was a nightmare but only because the bolts st the bottom were all rusted. I got the gasket out but it was limed up in addition to being moldy. I soaked it in vinegar and borax but somehow it got a slight rip, and dont know if I should put it back (not an easy job) and risk it leaking ir just buy another one but I cant seem to find my exact size anywhere.

WELL, YOU MANAGED TO REMOVE THE MOLD, BUT IT'Ll COME BACK. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS YOUR WASHING MACHINE DOESN'T HEAT. OR YOU ONLY USE LOW TEMPERATURES, ONCE A WEEK YOU HAVE TO USE 90 C.

@@btshomedition but also should check if the washing machine heats up. it is easiest for you to turn on the machine at 90c and wait 30-40 min. then you put your hand on the door glass and if it's hot, then it's fine.
