How do I shut interior light to leave door open between use
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We close the door between uses - no mold or mildew problems. We use it every week, however, so not much time for a problem to "grow".
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi avid reader! That is a great question. We ask that your washer door is left ajar after a wash in order to avoid the growth of mold and mildew. This can be done for a few hours at a time when the washer is not in use or when children are not present, as suggested in the User and Care Manual. If you do not wish to leave the door ajar, you can also prevent mold and mildew by cleaning the door gasket by running a wash cycle without the clothes. Use bleach in the load to kill any mold or mildew that may have been growing. And lastly ensure that the door gasket is dried completely. We hope this information is of assistance. Do not hesitate to contact us directly or via the Q&A forum on this website. –Best Regards-
