THIS WAS A LOT OF WORK! | Teardown & Deep Clean a Front Load Washer Tub

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 built-up 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 step-by-step. I also replace the tub or drum gasket/seal. My washing machine is an LG WM2501HVA.

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