I have cleaned everything inside the washer that I can reach without taking it apart. I have cycled through with clean water and bleach several times. Have removed and cleaned the fabric softener dispenser and cup under it. I am still getting brown scum floating in the water (which eventually ends up on clothes). How can I remove the agitator to clean under it?
