The answer is to always leave the door wide open this allows air circulation and helps to allow the interior to dry between loads. Give your washer a deep clean with either an empty load with clorox or with a product designed to clean the machine. Then you can maintain it by keeping the door open (not ajar)

Keeping the door ajar about an inch has worked for me for the past 4 years full time and prior to that, 3 years as a seasonal resident 3 months a year. I've had no odor from the machine.
