In this video, I teardown and deep clean my front load washing machine. After neglecting to clean the laundry tub/drum for the first several years of use, dirt and grime built up between the inner and outer drum. This resulted in brown marks on our laundry after washing. I learned how to run the tub clean cycle and that helped but did not completely solve the problem. The builtup grime could not be removed even after running the tub clean cycle several times with Affresh and Plink cleaning tablets.
I finally decided to teardown the machine and open the drum assembly for a deep cleaning. Watch as I disassemble, clean, and then reassemble my front load washing machine stepbystep. I also replace the tub or drum gasket/seal. My washing machine is an LG WM2501HVA.

To see if grime has builtup on the outside of the inner drum of your front load washing machine, check out this video...    • Affresh Cleaning Tablets  Front Load...
