How to clean a Samsung Washing Machine's door seal/bellow?
Last Update date : Jul 14. 2022
The rubber packing on Washing Machine is designed to block water from being leaked out of the door. At time, molds and residual may form and stuck in the rubber packing. Always air-dry after using the machine. If the level of pollution is very bad, clean the rubber packing.
1
Open the Washing Machine door and remove any clothing or items from it. Inspect the grey colored seal/bellow between the door opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the seal/bellow to inspect all areas under it and check for foreign objects
