Sounds like a mildew problem. Front loading washers are notorious for it. Look it up online for some ways to combat it. Mostly what I've seen involve cleaning both sides of the plastic seal with bleach to kill the mildew and then to leave the door open so it air dries. Keeping it dry is supposed to prevent the mildew from having a place to live.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've heard that front loading washers and dryers and prone to mold and mildew. After washing clothes, we leave the detergent tray open as well as the door on the washer so no parts stay damp. I'd say clean your washer and dryer (you can probably Google how to do that if it's not in the manual) then try leaving it open from now on.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You might need to get some cleaner for the washer and run it threw it can happen sometimes they also recommend doing this every 6 months
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Could be a couple of reasons. There is a filter in the front of the washer that you have to clean every so often. The other reason could be you need to 'clean' the washer. For some reason these front loads can 'smell'. Multiple products on the market to do that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thanks for the question. If you find there's an odor in your WF42H5000AW and clean clothes don't smell as clean as they should, try running the Self Clean cycle as instructed in the User Manual. Other possible causes could be the length or position of the drain hose, or debris and standing water remaining in the filter/auxiliary drain hose area which can be accessed through the front panel on the Washer. Please refer to pages 16, 28-29, 31 and 33 of the User Manual for installation and maintenance tips for removing and preventing unpleasant odors. - Ms. Samsung
