Front-load washers of this generation collect residue in the door boot and the dispenser, and that is where odour complaints come from. It is maintenance rather than a fault, and it responds to wiping the boot dry and running a tub-clean cycle regularly.
Owner-safe checks: unplug the washer first, then look in the pump filter access at the lower front, having laid towels down because water will come out. Anything past the filter, including the pump, the boot and the door lock, is technician work.
