I pretty sure that’s what killed the 9 year old one. I will be routinely using cleaning solution every month or two with new one.
If your washing machine over 5 years old most likely it looks like one in video maybe Not as bad but definitely dirty especially if starting to smell.

Front loaders also have problems under door seal.
“ Fabric softener is fatty and clumpy by nature, which could eventually clog your washing machine's pipes and collect in the fabric softener dispenser. If you do not remove the residual softener, you could begin to see or smell mold in your washing machine. Neither clogging nor mold growth are desirable for your washer. “ |
We have a top load washer and after each load or the last load of the day, we leave the lid open to allow the residual moisture to dry out. Seems to help eliminate smell from any possible mold.
