How To Clean Your Front Load Washer
Hi, Diana!
I have a front load washing machine and occasionally, I will run a "tub clean" cycle with vinegar instead of detergent. If your machine doesn't have a "tub clean" cycle, there are cleaning tabs that can be purchased at any home improvement store or retail store to help clean these washers! I believe the brand name is Affresh... I hope this helps!
afresh- its a product made to clean washing machines.
I use Afresh on mine. It’s found in most grocery stores hardware stores or online.
Hi Diana - This is a great step-by step article on how to clean your washing machine and get the stinky smells out - regardless of whether it's HE, top or front loading. Hope this helps and happy laundry day! Hugs, Holly

Leave it open as much as possible so that it will air out. Wipe down gaskets regularly. There should be a cleaning cycle, I use bleach with mine then an empty. That's what was recommended by the delivery / repair man.
I also can recommend IFresh, this work good for our family.
Also some thing about washing machime care, found here, don't want to copy paste(

Some info : "Wash the tray for washing powders and conditioners, wipe the gum of the drum, and once every 4 months run a full wash cycle without laundry"
