We also had a funky smell in our laundry room which turned out to be the washer, not the dryer. I cleaned the inside of the tub, moved both pieces to make sure nothing was underneath, and washed the floor but the smell would still appear.
Even using the “clean washer” cycle with one of those special pods only cleared the smell for a day or two. A neighbor suggested running the clean cycle and using about a half cup of fabuloso, which I have been doing for the past couple months. The funk is gone.
Maybe worth a try for you?
