If you have a smell in your washer, it is possible it is not draining properly. However, to freshen it up, I would try running a cycle with vinegar to freshen it up. Use 4 cups with a top loader and 2 cups with a front loader. If mineral deposits are clogging it, then the vinegar will help. If it still smells, try running a cycle with chlorine bleach to kill mold. Good luck!
