John for Model Number ATF8000FS1 The rubber molding on the front panel that seals the door when it closes has become moldy. Is it easily changed? If so, what is the part number and is there instruction. Recommended prevention? Thanks
Answer Hello John, This 134728400 is not a terribly hard repair. We have a video showing the bellows replacement at http://www.appliancepartspros.com/frigidaire-bellows-kit-134728400-ap3886970.html . Please note that this video actually shows a Whirlpool as an example, but the Frigidaire is similar. As per the manufacturer, to prevent mold, mildew, and odor, do at least two hot washes with bleach per week, do not oversoap, and run a bi-monthly sanitation cycle with white vinegar and/or bleach and hot water. Also, dilute the fabric softener with hot water, (50% hot water and 50% fabric softener), before putting it into the fabric softener dispenser. This prevents clinging of the softener to the plastic parts of the dispenser and also, since the softener "feeds" the bacteria that causes mold, mildew, and odor so the less used, the less of an issue you will have.
