Kevin H Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 We have a Whirlpool WFC7500VW clothes washer. Have had it for about 7 years. It works great. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one if I had to replace this one. However, the big rubber gasket assembly (bellows in the parts list) catches water. I recently saw that it is full of some pretty nasty looking stuff. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you go about cleaning it? The richest are not those who have the most, but those who need the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Traveler Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I had the same problem with a front load washer. The gasket catches water. Over time, it molds. Ick! Just some Simple Green and hot water did the trick for me. It's all fine and dandy until someone's marshmallow catches fire! 2015 Ford F-250 6.2L (She ain't diesel but she hauls ass!) 2012 Jayco Pinnacle 36KPTS Http://www.5thwheelgypsy.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmon Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The manual with ours said to run a hot wash (no clothes) with 1/2 c of bleach once a month. Never had a problem. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 We see the same thing, it starts out slowly but once the tiny drain holes in out unit clog the buildup really gets to growing. We just grab a couple paper towels and swipe the area every month to keep ahead of the goo. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

Ray,IN Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 DW uses a commercially-made washer cleaner a couple times a year; it must work there is never an odor or visible sign of mold/mildew, but she always leaves the door open while not traveling. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

TxCowboy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 ^^^ Absolutely agree with leaving the door slightly ajar. We have the same type of washer at home and mold on and under the gasket is always an issue if you don't stay on top of it.
