Front-load washers hold moisture in the door boot, and the vent system reduces but does not eliminate it. Wiping the boot and glass, leaving the door ajar and running the tub clean cycle monthly are the maintenance steps that prevent odour complaints.
The door lock holds briefly after a cycle by design. If it still will not release after several minutes, the machine may not have drained, and the drain filter should be checked. Place a shallow tray and towels under the filter before opening it, since it releases a surprising amount of water.
