Please post pictures! What model is it?

Post this in the Laundry forum. Laundry Room forum

Model is WTW7800XW0, will post in laundry. Thanks.

Orientation of the picture isn't clear. If that's under the tub cover, water doesn't fill that high during operation so running bleach and Affresh won't avail anything. There may be some splattering up there from extraction of the clothes during spin. You didn't answer in the other thread regards to fabric softener and detergent usage.

Looks like plain old gunk to me...rusty-colored gunk. If you pop the cabinet lid open it'll be MUCH easier to wipe it off!

Pods aren't the best choice IMO. There's less control over dosing for small/light loads. Large loads, heavy soil needs more than one pod ... you're aware of that, yes?

I don't know why the *snark* Dadoes was only being helpful. You would be surprised how many people wash a full load of moderate to heavy soils and only use 1 pod. Under dosing is a big factor in the cause of mold growth. I hope your not still washing clothes in this machine and spreading the mold spores to your clothes.

As said in the laundry forum. You are going to have to tear it down to get the mold out or replace. There are people that can walk you step by step thru the cleaning process if you choose. Good Luck.

My washer is only 2 yrs old..looks exact same as picture as posted from remodel260.

Any suggestions??

Disassemble to whatever extent is necessary for access to clean the accumulation. Then take appropriate usage steps to avoid it from recurring.
