  To address residue stain buildup in the dispenser drawer or if the detergent pack isn't dissolving in your Electrolux Washer, remove the dispenser and its inserts. Clean them using a mixture of ¾ cup of liquid chlorine bleach and one gallon of hot water. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed. Be sure to wear rubber or latex gloves and protect your floor and clothing from bleach.

  If you're noticing lint on your clothes after washing them in your Electrolux Washer, try reducing the load size and rewashing with the correct water temperature, water level, and amount of detergent. You can also add a non-precipitating water conditioner to remove detergent residue, add liquid fabric softener to the final rinse, and dry the load in the dryer. Remove any remaining lint with a lint brush or roller.

  If you find yellow or brown rust stains on your clothes after washing in your Electrolux Washer, it could be due to iron or manganese in your water supply, pipes, or water heater. To remove the discoloration from white clothes, use a rust remover that is safe for the fabric. Do not use chlorine bleach, as it may intensify the discoloration.

  John MeltonSep 6, 2025
  If you are finding greasy or oily stains on your clothes after washing in your Electrolux Washer, this could be due to not using enough detergent or undiluted liquid fabric softener being poured directly on the fabric. Treat the stains with a prewash stain remover or liquid detergent. Increase the amount of detergent and the water temperature, then rewash. For fabric softener stains, rub them with bar soap.

  Matthew HernandezSep 8, 2025
  If you are noticing yellow buildup of body soil on synthetic fabrics after washing in your Electrolux Washer, it could be due to agitation time being too short, wash water temperature being too low, or not enough detergent being used. Soak the fabrics in a detergent booster or a product containing enzymes. Wash in the hottest water safe for the fabric using the casual cycle. Increase the amount of detergent and add bleach safe for the fabric or treat with a color remover.
