How do I prevent odors in my washing machine?

Always use HE detergent and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount—never use more than recommended as this increases detergent and soil residue accumulation. Leave the washer door slightly ajar between uses to allow the washer to dry and prevent buildup of odor-causing residue. Additionally, run the Clean Washer cycle monthly, and unload clothes promptly after the cycle ends; if unable to unload immediately, use the TumbleFresh™ option.
