I used the term "gasket," and perhaps that is confusing.
From what I read, you have a top loader so you don't have that problem.
However, even when I had a top load washer, I would leave the lid open for the washer to air dry.

Anyway, in a front loader, when you open the door, there is a large flexible rubber "thing"
that seals the door when the washer door is closed.
That is what I was calling a gasket.
The rubber piece is flexible and if you pull it sort of up and out a little,
it is like a flap. Check in that area to see if there is anything clogging the tiny holes which let water flow through.
Anything that accumulates there (lint, pet hair, etc.) is what I wipe out with a sponge.

If I am not clear, ask me again!
