Why is the drum turning blue after drying jeans?

Excessive dye in new jeans or new towels can result in the dye being transferred to the drum. Occasionally, all of the dye cannot be removed from the drum. To remove the majority of the dye, use either a spray cleaner such as Fantastic™ or Formula 409, a laundry pre-treat product such as Spray n' Wash or Shout. The aerosol types often work better for this purpose. A mildly abrasive cleanser such as Soft Scrub or Bon Ami can also be used but you must rub lightly. After using one of the items mentioned above, wipe with a damp cloth followed by tumbling a load of old rags or towels on the regular cycle using either the regular or delicate temperature for 20-25 minutes. This will make sure any excess stain is removed. After completing these steps, it may be possible to still see the stain on the tumbler. However, as long as the above steps are followed, there should not be any transfer of the stain.
