There are several places where water is stored in the machine and hoses, which is normal. If you do not use your machine much this water can become stagnet and pick up a smell, you can notice this especially in a rental house which is vacant often. Another cause is if you have the exhausted water plumbed to the main drain line without a trap the smell can come from the area around the washer. A way to help reduce this is to wash your white clothes last, the bleach and hot water you use can help reduce the smell.
