I don't know of a way to actually clean under the front seal, but have you run a cycle with a washing machine cleaning tab yet? You use the tab or powder and it usually gets in all those nooks and crannies. LG seals are actually certified antimicrobial, if that puts your mind at ease at all. I would let it run a cleaning cycle with one of those cleaning tabs (you just run a normal cycle with an extra rinse cycle) and then leave it open to air dry (if you can prop it open with something that usually works best).
