Run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle:

* Samsung washing machines have a self-cleaning cycle called Drum Clean or Pure Cycle. * This cycle washes the interior of the machine, including the gasket, with hot water and a cleaning agent. * Run this cycle regularly to keep the gasket fresh and free of bacteria.

Additional Tips:

* Check the gasket regularly for signs of mold or mildew. * If mold or mildew is present, clean the gasket thoroughly and run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. * Keep the washing machine door slightly open when not in use to promote air circulation and prevent condensation buildup.
