The gasket has drain holes, so there are only small independent drops of water on it after a cycle. The door has a clever magnetic prop to keep the door slightly open when the machine is not in use so everything can dry out. And, there is a Tub Clean cycle designed to be used every 30 cycles or so designed to keep things clean, including unseen areas. If you choose to use the LG app, ThinQ, it will remind you when to run the Tub Clean cycle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I dry the inside of the door and gasket with a microfiber towel after each use, followed by leaving the door ajar. But, I have noticed that the tub of the washer appears to be designed to direct the water to the back of the unit while draining which I believe will be a big help in preventing water from settling in the door section of the unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Only used a couple times m. Just used other day first time. Manufacturer says to wipe the gasket after using and leave door open to dry.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If the rubber door gasket and door seal area are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from mold or foreign substances. Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and check under the door seal for small items when unloading the washer. Over time, residue may build up in the drum, leading to mildew or a musty odor. Run the Tub Clean cycle monthly to remove residue and prevent odor. The Tub Clean is a special cycle designed to clean the inside of the washer. After you finish using the washer, leave the door open overnight to allow air to circulate and dry the drum. This helps prevent odors. ^Daphane
