The folded gasket can trap water, lint and small items. LG recommends regular wiping and ventilation. Never mix bleach and vinegar, and prevent child or pet entry into an open washer.

Empty the washer and turn it off after the wash, then inspect the door and gasket.
Carefully remove trapped lint, hair, coins and debris from the folds of the rubber seal.
Dry the door glass, gasket surface and folded groove with a soft cloth.
About once a month, clean with the method and dilution approved for your exact model; cleaner rules vary.
Remove any approved cleaner as directed and dry. Never mix chlorine bleach with vinegar or other acidic agents.
Ventilate the door and dispenser safely. Keep children and pets out of the drum and contact service if leakage continues.
