Do you know how you got the musty smell? It's important to wipe down the the inside of the washer and allow to air out or mold/odor will start to occur.

You could clean the gasket with 50% bleach & 50% water or run the washing machine on hot setting with 1 cup of baking soda, 1/2 cup of enzymatic dishwasher detergent, or a commercial washer cleaner.

If you pour in a bottle of vinegar and do a wash with no clothes, the smell should be taken care of. You have to do this at regular intervals.

Try pouring 2 cups of white vinegar into the detergent holder and run a hot water or cleaning cycle.

Do a wash with no clothes, and add a bottle of vinegar. Do this every couple of months.

Use 1 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of vinegar run the washer through with no clothes in it.
