Hi kabumid,

I see that you are inquiring on how to clean your Frigidaire front load washer. This particular model, FAFS4272LW, has a Clean Washer cycle that is recommended to use once a month. The washer will also prompt you to clean the tub every 50 washes. To start the Clean Washer cycle rotate cycle knob to Rinse & Spin, then press the Clean Washer option button. The LCD screen will display “SYSTEM CLEAN”. If your washer has the main wash-liquid only cup remove it from the dispenser. Make sure the wash drum is empty then add one cup of liquid chlorine bleach or one pouch of washing machine cleaner to the detergent chamber. Press Start to begin.

For especially dirty areas visible inside the drum (including the front rubber seal), these areas might be more effectively cleaned by spraying bleach cleaner on a scrub brush, soft sponge, or towel and scrubbing. To help prevent odors, mold or mildew, leave the door open for a few hours after use or whenever the washer is not in use.

You can help prevent odor buildup and mildew between washes by utilizing your washer’s vent latch feature. To apply the vent lock, open the door slightly, lift the latch arm and then press the arm down onto the plastic door strike, snapping it in place. The vent latch can be released either of two ways - by pulling door out and manually returning latch arm to lower position or by pushing door shut and allowing latch arm to continue its pivot upward.

I hope this information proves helpful to you. This information is also listed in the owner’s manual for your washer which you should be able to locate from the manufacture’s website.

Thanks,
