Surprisingly your washing machine should not smell bad if your clothes have a bad odour before. Check hidden crevices such as beneath the seal inside of the agitator or the detergent tray. Bacteria LOVE moist conditions and the thin layer of soap scum fabric softener and laundry grime inside the washer are great bacteria chow.
I have been having issues with my washing machine for a while now. Loading machine at less than 50 capacity. Clogged drains can be easily cleared in several ways including commercial unclogging agents or with good old boiling water and baking soda.
Sometimes if a washing machine has not been plumbed-in correctly it can cause problems with stagnant water sitting in the drainage pipe. The smelling after cleaning is common. Washing machine smells such as a musty odor or rotten egg smell come from bacteria.
There can be many factors which can contribute a bad smell in the washing machine. The bacteria then feast on the disturbed sludge. The cleaner affresh didnt help at all.
My ancient 10 year old Bosch Maxx developed a smell. Problem has followed across 3 houses 4 washing machines which rules that out. A mechanical part of it may develop some random fault which may cause the smell.
