I'd run some baking soda in with your next load. I put about a half a cup in.
this site might help too. Some people use vinegar http://www.washerhelp.co.uk/diy-repair-help_2.html~*Darlene*~

You might also prop the lid open after use to let it dry out completely before closing.

I was gonna suggest vinegar too, it does wonders with yucky smells.
I wonder too would some charcoal like in an open paper bag help. I once did that with an old fridge that someone gave me and it helped. Just dont use matchlight!

yep, i think vinegar would work. I'd put in about 3 cups full and do a complete cycle with just the water and vinegar.
