Answer 2

Use 2 cups of vinegar to full load amount of hot water.

Answer 3

This seems to be real problem with the front loader washing machines.This is why I still use a top loader.The only thing I can suggest is to run the washing machine empty of laundry with detergent and bleach using hot water.After it has finished leave to door open so ALL moisture can evaporate.In the future leave the door open after washing the last load.

I did find this article.Maybe it will help.

Answer 4

Wipe out the gasket around the door. Mine traps lots of interesting things. Run it on a cycle, empty, with bleach. Mine is a Kenmore H2 and it has a cleaning cycle. It is reccomeded to do this once every 3 months. Leave the door open when the washer is not use.

Answer 5

Run it on the hottest wash with a couple of cupfuls of white vinegar in.  In future leave the door ajar and use more hot washes.  Good luck.
