Default Front loader washer smells

Hi,

I have a 7 year old front load washer. When I moved to the villages, I started to use Downy water softener, and now my washer really smells. I've done everything Google and I can think of. Ran the TUB Clean cycle numerous times. Got some washing machine cleaner, ran that through. Used Bleach, vinegar, hot water. Cleaned inside and out with Mold/Mildew cleaner. Still smells.


What I think I need is someone to come out, remove the rubber gasket around the door and clean it out there, and maybe other places I can't get to.

I called a few repair men and explained what I needed and no one wanted to help me.

Does anyone know someone who can do this for me.

Otherwise, the washer works fine. The clothes don't smell, just the washer.

Thanks
