A:Answer If the rubber door gasket and door seal area are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from mold or foreign substances. Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and check under the door seal for small items when unloading the washer. Odors can occur if foreign substances are left in the drainage pump filter. Be sure to clean the drainage pump filter regularly. Odors can occur if the drainage hose is not properly installed, causing siphoning (water flowing back inside the washing machine). When installing the drainage hose, be sure that it doesn’t become kinked or blocked. ^Daphane
