Fujitsu fan is loaded with mildew... How to I take it out to clean it?

Needs a clean out . Get it serviced

The outer chassis needs to be removed and then gain access to the scroll fan. Once accessable use a mold and mildew remover on everything EXCEPT the evaporator coils. Many mold and mildew removers are very corrosive to evaporators. A well used scotch brite pad works well on any styro-foam and metal. A pot scrubber brush also does a good job on cleaning the scroll fan. Once you finish cleaning use a fresh water squirt bottle to rinse off the mold and mildew cleaner residue as best you can. Place rags in the bottom and rinse. Wring out the rags and rinse again. I personally use Mr. Muscle Mold and Mildew Remover but it is really hard on your hands. Disposable Latex gloves are a must. You will not get rid all of the discoloration off of styrofoam but you will get rid of the smell and the majority of the problem. This is a task a homeowner can do.... just be careful when gain access to the scroll fan.

There is a spray called NOK OUT. It is available in most pet stores or you can check it out online at www.nokout.ca . This stuff is amazing and safe!! The trapped lint in the dryer vent can hold the odors also. You can try to clean out the excess lint from the vent assembly. Remove the hose from the rear of the dryer(unplug first) and any panel that will gain access to the vent assembly. I hope that this helps...Besides its free advice.

Hi,
Here is a tip about how to clean your washer

How to have a Clean Washer

heatman101

take straight bleach on a white rag or towel and while wearing rubber gloves, wipe the surface until clean.
then run the towel thru a cycle with other whites ...

Wash an empty load with bleach. This may wash out mold or mildew stuck in the water lines and pump. If it seems to help, do it again.
This is for internal issues.
If the problem is external, the machine may just need a good cleaning.

is this a question? I will assume that you are saying that there is mildew growing below something, possibly the drum, inside the washer. The only way to definately get it out is disassembly and thorough cleaning. Check your discharge hoses to make sure they are not clogged, leaving water in the washer rather than discharging all of it. If you want to kill the mildew/smell, run an empty load or just some rags but throw a cup or two of bleach in the washer. The chlorine will kill the mildew growths. Run a rinse cycle or two before your next load of darks to get the chlorine out (especially if you are having a discharge problem) so you don't inadvertantly bleach your clothes.

This happens when you keep the door shut. Run an empty load with extra chlorine bleach to kill the mold spores. Keep the door open to prevent mold or mildew from growing again.

Front load washers retain water that you cant see or get to. There are cleaners for washing machines available. I clean mine every month with alot of bleach , try pouring a half gallon of bleach in the soap insert on a normal wash cycle and an extra rinse would not hurt no clothes of course.

The new boot replacements are anti-microbial have a smoother surface and are designed to be more resistant to mold issues with proper care. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of the old boot replacements out there. The part number for the upgraded boot is 12002533..., This part number supercedes all prior part numbers for the Neptune boot assy...Hope this helps
