Warning: Gross Washing Machine Maintenance Discovery – Proceed with Caution!

[tlvc86]

Update, for those of you asking - this is not the side that you see when you take the draw out, that’s clean. It’s the side that the water runs through that’s facing the top of the washing machine. Didn’t know you could take it part. The machine is 5 years old and cleaned each month.
If you are a little sensitive in the stomach area please do not look at pics.
Today there was a lady that posted about deep cleaning her washing machine.
So as I had fix my WM door hinge I gave it a good 90 degree cycle.
My washing still smelt funny so I took to investing. I have taken most of my washing machine apart and cleaned it, then I got to where the water goes in the draw.

I will be taking this apart more often but please don’t do this if you don’t know what your doing!!

[denziel]

I use a toothbrush to get in and clean it. No idea how to take it apart lol

 

[robz]

I’m confused as to where this bit has come from

 

[rowdshar]

@robz same

 

[paramorefan]

@robz its part of the drawer its where the water comes in at the top

 

[chrisk16]

It looks like the top layer of the washing machine, you pull the drawer out and look inside the machine and look up,
My favourite thing to clean

 

[gratefullysaved]

@chrisk16 but how does it come out? I’m so confused

 

[tlvc86]

@gratefullysaved this is is the other side of the draw. This is the side you can’t see unless you take the top off the washing machine.
