I have a Westinghouse Mastermind 708 front loading washing machine. There is a terrible smell from it, and I can found a thick gray buildup of hair and goo around the edge of the drum. Its obviously to me the outside of the drum needs cleaning, but its not so obvious as to how to do that.
I've tried the washing machine powders that are supposed to ''scrub'' the drum, but this apparently did not work very well.
So, what's the best way to clean this beast?

Thanks for you comment. It kind of makes sense if you are implying the buildup is cause by a clogged water return filter.
It doesn't answer my original question (How do I clean the drum?), and leads to a few more question.
What does a water return filter look like? Where is it located? How do I access it?
To add a bit to my original question, it should be "How do I access and clean the drum"? I can't get deep enough into the part that is dirty.
