Make sure to run the Tub Clean cycle only when the tub is empty. Never load laundry while using this cycle. The laundry may be damaged or contaminated with cleaning products.
Run the cycle more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is already present.
If mildew or musty smell already exists, run this cycle once a week for three consecutive weeks.
