....just kidding, as far as you know.
Just bought a used 2006 HE4t set....slight (usual) mildew odor from washer. Suspect door bellows as the entire gray seal is coated in grime and mildew, moving forward onto the white portion of the bellows as it attaches to the S/S drum.
As I am anal about doing thorough cleaning/repairs; my thought is to remove the bellows to clean properly.
Is this an assinine thought? If removal proves to be more difficult than convincing your wife you are right about something, what is best method, and chemicals used to clean bellows?
Is there an "inner" gasket to be cleaned? (I've heard some LG washers have mildew buildup on some sort of inner seal).
Also wondering about how to fix a sticky slide on the pedastal.
Lastly (at least for now) is there any type of dishcharge filter or other maintenance items I can access to clean? (Again, I've heard other models have such a filter that can have disgusting buildup).
I also seemed to have lost the u-shaped plastic piece that puts the curve into the discharge hose for hanging into the tub/drain. Can I use wire or is the part fairly inexpensive?
Awesome site! Glad to log on and become part of what sounds like a great service...especially if beer is somehow involved. I fix all my own appliances if at all possible.
