Here’s a topic have plenty of experience in. Front load washers have a problem with the large rubber gasket that seals the door. It traps soap residue which leads to mildew and odors. Regular cleaning is easy to overlook because you don’t actually see anything looking dirty. You would think running a cycle of hot water and Clorox bleach would work but it doesn’t do much. A quart of white vinegar and a few tablespoons baking soda is actually what gets rid of the offending odors. If the odors keep coming back try using less soap because that’s what causes the problem in the first place. Photo shows the area where the problem starts.
