I have had a Whirlpool front loader for several years now. We leave the washer door open after we use it to allow the inside to dry completely between uses. No smell at all. Our washer is located in our garage so having the door open is no problem. I also bought the washer base cabinet with the washer. When I got it home and installed, I was suprised to find that you could not place a standard size bottle of HE detergent inside the drawer standing upright. I wrote a letter of complaint to Whirlpool. Since they recommend you use only HE detergent and even provided a sample of Tide HE liquid detergent, you would think that they would have checked out the size of the standard container. What else would you want to store in that drawer (the one gallon size of bleach will not fit either)? I believe they may have increased the height of the drawer in later models.
