my front loader bosch classic has black mould in the rubber rim how can i remove it and what causes it?
clean it with brush,bleach and strong soap,,caused by not leaving dr wide open when not in use
According to my washer repair guy, this is a very common problem because people don't realize that these machines should ALWAYS be kept with the door slightly open when they are not in use. Front loaders absolutely must have a tight seal on the door - otherwise, you'd have water all over the place when you ran the machine, right? Airtight seal + moisture = MOLD. Clean the gasket as best you can with mild detergent and a damp cloth. Try to avoid using bleach because it can damage the rubber gasket, leading your machine to leak during use. If you must use bleach, use a diluted solution and rinse thoroughly - don't leave bleach residue hanging around on the gasket or it will degrade. If it's bad, you may need to replace the gasket entirely. And to save your self future headaches, always keep the door slightly open when the machine is not in use. Air circulation is crucial to avoiding mold growth in your machine.
