To remove lint from a Whirlpool washing machine, focus on the area under the door seal, which can often accumulate lint.
Lint commonly collects in certain areas of front-load washing machines. One key location to check and clean regularly is the rubber door seal. Keeping this area clean helps ensure optimal machine performance.
Cleaning the Door Seal Area
Follow these steps to effectively remove lint from the rubber door seal:
- Gently Pull Back the Seal: Carefully pull back the rubber door seal around the washing machine drum.
- Locate the Lint: Inspect the area underneath the seal for accumulated lint and debris.
- Clean with a Wipe: Use the textured side of an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe to wipe away the lint and any residue found under the seal.
- Regular Maintenance: Perform this cleaning task regularly. If your machine utilizes a drying feature, it is recommended to clean the door seal area after every cycle (as of information updated March 26, 2024) to prevent lint buildup.
By focusing on this prone area, you can significantly reduce lint accumulation in your Whirlpool washing machine.
