Check Your Manual: Look for any mention of a “Tub Clean,” “Drum Clean,” or “Self Clean” cycle.
Button Combination: On some models, holding down two buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds activates the cleaning mode.
Look Near the Control Panel: Sometimes a small, recessed button or switch is near the cycle dial or on the door frame.
Activate the Cleaning Cycle: Once the switch or mode is activated, run the machine empty with hot water and a washing machine cleaner or vinegar to deep clean the drum.
