Cause Of The Rotten Egg Smell
The reason your water probably smells like rotten eggs is because it contains some traces of hydrogen sulfide. Even extremely small amounts of hydrogen sulfide can cause your water to have quite the odorous smell! In most cases this smell occurs due to a build-up of hydrogen sulfide in your hot water heater. If you haven't used your hot water heater in quite some time, this could be the cause of your odor.
Is it Harmful?
Despite the wretched tingling in your nose you might experience, hydrogen sulfide is actually a non-health risk. If anything all it does is provide an extreme nuisance when found in your water supply.
Coming to the your problem....
Run the washing machine with detergent & chlorine bleach in the hottest water possible - clothing not recommended, some plain white cotton towels or some that you want clean but don't mind if they fade - the terry cloth will add a mild scrubbing action to the washing machine drum.
After it finishes washing, rinsing, and spinning out all the water - run another time with hot water and at least one cup of cheap white vinegar. Run your machine for around 10 minutes and again spin out all the water. Hurrayy.... Problem Solved!
Even if your machine keeps smelling than you contact your washing machine service centre...
