How can I effectively clean the interior of my Whirlpool front load washer?

[DiRicardo]

To maintain optimal performance and cleanliness in your Whirlpool front load washer, follow these steps for effective cleaning. First, remove all clothing and items from the washer drum. Next, use an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe, or a soft, damp cloth or sponge, to thoroughly clean the inside door window. Then, place one affresh Washer Cleaner tablet directly into the washer drum; avoid placing it in the dispenser drawer. Close the washer door securely and select the Clean Washer with affresh cycle. If your model offers it, you can also select the Fan Fresh/Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option to aid in drying the washer interior after the cleaning cycle. Finally, initiate the cleaning cycle by touching and holding the Start/Pause button. Once the cycle is complete, prop the door open slightly to promote proper ventilation and drying of the washer's interior. For best results, it is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure at least once a month or every 30 wash cycles. Refer to the "Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer" section in your Whirlpool Front Load Washer Owner's Manual for more detailed, model-specific instructions.
