Serviceman came over and cleaned out a filter on the bottom of the washer and that didn't help, I run the bleach through it and also use the AFFRESH nothing seems to help. It smell so bad I have to close the door to the laundry room and open the window.

If there is a such heavy smell then one or two times maybe not enough. Also keep the washer door ajar when it's not in use for better ventilation. Gene.
