How do I effectively clean my Whirlpool front load washer?

[AlejandroDella]

To maintain optimal performance and cleanliness, follow these steps to clean the inside of your Whirlpool front load washer: First, open the washer door and remove any laundry items. Next, use an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth or sponge to thoroughly clean the inside door window. Then, place an affresh Washer Cleaner tablet directly into the washer drum, avoiding the dispenser drawer. Close the washer door and select the Clean Washer with affresh cycle. Some models also offer the Fan Fresh/Fresh Hold/Fresh Spin option, which aids in drying the washer interior after the cleaning cycle. Initiate the cycle by pressing and holding the Start/Pause button. Once the cycle is complete, leave the door ajar to promote better air circulation and thorough drying of the washer interior. For best results and to prevent the build-up of soils and detergent residue, it is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure at least once a month or after every 30 wash cycles. For more detailed instructions specific to your model, consult the 'Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer' section in your Whirlpool Front Load Washer Owner's Manual.
