So I bought a used washer/dryer set. Minor cosmetic damage, they run fine, good price, and the guy even delivered them to my place, saving me begging a friend for a truck ride. The one catch is, the washer is filthy. The guy I bought it from got it from a repo'd house, and it had standing water in it when he got there - god knows how long it had stood. Algae and everything, all through it.

The washer itself is a somewhat modern Samsung, so it has a self clean feature. What I've been doing so far is scrubbing out any large debris from the tub and nearby area, running a self clean wash with lots of bleach, then scrubbing out again. Just repeating that. It's starting to look pretty clean, no longer smells, and not a lot of detritus is showing up after the cycles.

My question is, will this be enough to clean the washer, or should I be looking into disassembling the entire thing and scrubbing out the internals by hand? I mean, I can if I have to, but I really would like to avoid that if possible.
