How to use the Self-Clean feature on your Samsung Top Load Washer

Mold can accumulate in hidden areas, leading to unpleasant odors and bacteria growth.

1. Turn on your top-load washer and select the Self Clean cycle. No detergent is needed.
   
   
2. The washer will soak the tub in water to loosen accumulated dirt, then thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the tub with high-speed spinning.

• Air It Out: If possible, keep the lid open to ensure thorough drying between cycles.
  
  
• Remove Loads Promptly: Take out wet items immediately after the cycle ends.
  
  
• Choose Detergent Wisely: Opt for a high-efficiency (HE) detergent.
  
  
• Use Less Detergent: Use only the recommended amount or less.
  
  
• Avoid Fabric Softener: Liquid fabric softeners can leave residues that contribute to mold. Use dryer sheets or dryer balls instead.
  
  
• Dry Gaskets: Wipe around and underneath the door gaskets after every cycle.
  
  
• Self Cleaning Cycle: Run a self-cleaning cycle approximately once a month.
