you should post a new thread with your brand / model #.... but most of the time the mold is from water sitting in the rubber door seal, usually still with some soap / detergent in it and the door always being closed. All of the perfect factors for mold/mildew. try running the AFFRESH and using only the necessare amount of detergent for the amount of soil in your particular wash load and your water hardness. As well as rinsing the tumbler out occasionally with a short wash and towels to increase water circulation. Also, wipe up water in the rubber door seal daily and try leaving the door ajar for proper air circulation. if the mold doesn't go away with some Clorox, call factory service for a replacement of the part as in some cases whites can become stained...
