    Mine did that from the kids doing a load of wash and letting it sit in the machine for too long. What I did was put bleach in the machine with a tub full of water and let it run through a whole cycle... put in a few items so that there will be something in there.. I used a couple of old sheets that I did not mind throwing away. You could also give vinegar a try. I went heavy on the bleach... if I tried vinegar I would use at 2 cups. Leave up the lid after use to let air dry.

    Most of the time clothes smell if they are left in washer to long

    I think filling washer with water and bleach should do the job

    Letting it soak and agitating it a couple times may help more

    Then complete the cycle to get rid of the smell
