Vinegar and water mix
I always steam my crab with vinegar in the water to prevent the pot from stinking up the whole house. Then I wash it out, and let sit with some Dawn and add borax which is great at removing odors.

soak it in a citrus wash
Boil water with drop of vinegar in steamer..........
You can try scrubbing the basket with baking soda. Baking soda will absorb many smells. I hope this will work for you.
Have you tried calling the manufacturer of the steamer. Or call in or write to a Crab house and ask how they manage ????
