Mildew built up in bellow/rubber seal

Brand: Electrolux

Age: Less than 1 year

Recently, i notice there's a good amount of mildew build up inside the bellow/rubber seal. I am using HE liquid detergent. Normally after every wash the door stay open so whatever moisture that's still inside get air out. I also ran hot normal cycle using the tide washing machine cleaner and the mildew is still there. What's causing the mildew built up in the bellow?

If your leaving the door open it shouldn't be building up mildew, I've had my front-loader since 2006 and no mildew smell or build-up at all.

Where is your washer located? In a non-ventilated room?

Cleanlyness is the only option for the protection from that mildew . regular cleaning of the sensitive area is the only protection for this

Thaning you

It's in the wide open area of the basement, next to the water heater. The basement has no mildew smell.

Thats odd, then I really don't know why your washer would be getting that mildew, thats another reason to get Electrolux to come out.
