There are a number of causes of mold odor in clothes washers. 

1. The main cause of front load or top load stink is overuse of detergents because the user is following directions for amount used.  It’s necessary to use just a fraction of what directions on the box or bottle advise to use.   This is especially important if using liquid detergent or if there is a water softener in the home or if using a municipal water supply.    
2. Running a close second is fabric softener use.  We recommend switching to dryer sheets.  Keep in mind that dryer sheets can also be overused and cause towels to be less absorbent and to retain odor.  The sheets can be cut into halves or thirds and can even be reused.  Dryer balls are another option.     Click here to read more advice on the subject.
