This needs to be done every year or two depending on frequency of use. Look for the liquid detergents that have a little HE symbol on the front-stands for high efficiency. I always leave the door ajar and even pull out the little drawer for detergent so they can dry out a little between loads.
Now top load machines, I don't know so much.

Yes if the washer is a front loader it needs to dry out after doing laundry for the day. So when I had the front loader I left the door ajar and also opened the detergent drawer. We never had the odor problem in 5 years.
