What is the full and exact procedure to run a tub clean cycle on this washing machine? 
Doing what it says in the manual does not work.
Holding the EXTRA RINSE *TUB CLEAN BUTTON doesn't work .

    Hello @ironman

    For your own model, this is the TUB CLEAN instructions

    A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildew or musty smell.
    1. The TUB CLEAN cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup.
    2. Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX. line.
    3. Press and hold the EXTRA RINSE button for 3 seconds to activate this cycle.
    4. After the cycle has ended, open the door and allow the drum interior to dry completely.
    NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.
    NOTE: If you use the TUB CLEAN cycle on a monthly basis, the wash drum will be kept clean.

    I have this same problem, and have been trying to find an answer for years. Pressing and holding the tub clean does not work. There is a step missing in the instructions in the manual. Anybody know how to do this?

    Thanks!

    Same as prior posting: holding the clean button for 3 seconds does not / never has worked.

    @ironman below is totally wrong and obviously doesn't know what he's writing
