It sounds like you're getting mold & residue that builds up over time. Clean your washer monthly:
Run the Washer with affresh or bleach, after every
30 washes. See "Washer Care" in "Washer Maintenance."
Unload washer as soon as cycle is complete.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always follow the detergent directions.
