Also use you ceiling vent fan all the time when doing a load of washing. Make sure the fan cover is clean so it circulates more air (removing the moisture and aiding in evapouration from your washer). If you vent fan isn't strong enough concider replacing it with a more powerful one

Some of these front load machines have aluminium (Al) spiders connecting the spin drum to the drive pulley. Aluminium is corroded by, amongst other things, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) otherwise known as ‘bleach’.
Check the Internet for 'Corrosion of aluminium' and search for athe Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for any chemicals found in any of your laundry detergents and don't use any that are corrosive to aluminium (tough luck on bleach users), some may say that they are jus t corrosive to metals, but anything with a pH above about 8.0 is suspect.
There is some evidence that, in washing machines, the products of aluminium corrosion can cause/contribute to offensive odours.
Good Luck

Might have to do with where you keep the washer as well. Is it in the house, or garage or basement. If the area is very humid, then you are bound to have more issues than if it’s in the AC.

I bought a Neptune washer soon after they came out, I believe in 1997. It had that awful smell as well. After about a year, I got a letter from the manufacturer telling about a new part that would help. I did what they said in the letter. I can’t remember what they said to do, but a man from the store I bought the washer from came out and put in the part. Maybe it is the same part that Debbie mentioned above. Haven’t had any problems since.
