the "Tub Clean" cycle on an LG washer is a special cleaning cycle designed to clean and sanitize the inside of the washing machine's drum. Over time, washing machines can accumulate detergent residue, dirt, and mildew, which may cause unpleasant odors and affect the cleanliness of your laundry. The Tub Clean cycle helps address these issues and maintain a hygienic washing environment.
When you run the Tub Clean cycle, the washer will fill with hot water and typically use a combination of high-speed spinning and powerful jets of water to clean the drum thoroughly. Some models may also allow you to add a small amount of bleach or a specialized washing machine cleaner to enhance the cleaning process.
Here are some general steps to use the Tub Clean cycle on an LG washer (keep in mind that specific steps might vary depending on the model):
Make sure the drum is empty. Remove any clothing or items from the washer.
Close the washer door securely.
Select the Tub Clean cycle on the control panel. On most LG washers, this cycle is indicated by a tub-like symbol or labeled "Tub Clean."
If required, add a small amount of bleach or a washing machine cleaner to the detergent dispenser. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the cleaner's packaging.
Start the cycle and allow it to run until completion.
After the cycle is finished, open the washer door and let the drum air out for a while to prevent any potential moisture buildup.
It's important to note that the specific features and options of an LG washer, including the Tub Clean cycle, may differ depending on the model and year of manufacture. For the most accurate and detailed instructions on how to use the Tub Clean cycle for your particular LG washer model, refer to the user manual or consult LG's official website or customer support.
