Materials You'll Need:
* Soft cloth * Nonabrasive household detergent * Empty spin cycle
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
* Mix a nonabrasive household detergent with warm water in a small bowl.
2. Clean the Gasket:
* Dip a soft cloth into the cleaning solution and gently wipe the gasket around the door. * Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the gasket.
3. Avoid Spraying Water:
* Do not spray water directly onto the washing machine, as this could damage the electrical components.
4. Run an Empty Spin Cycle:
* After cleaning the gasket, run an empty spin cycle to remove excess water from the machine. * This will help prevent mold and mildew from forming.
Keeping the Gasket Fresh:
*
Run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle:
* Samsung washing machines have a self-cleaning cycle called Drum Clean or Pure Cycle. * This cycle washes the interior of the machine, including the gasket, with hot water and a cleaning agent. * Run this cycle regularly to keep the gasket fresh and free of bacteria.
Additional Tips:
* Check the gasket regularly for signs of mold or mildew. * If mold or mildew is present, clean the gasket thoroughly and run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. * Keep the washing machine door slightly open when not in use to promote air circulation and prevent condensation buildup.
