I have an original Maytag Neptune, and that was the washer that killed Maytag (now part of Frigidaire). My understanding is that the new ones have many fewer issues with smell. Apparently fabric softener exacerbated the problem, but that's anecdotal.

It appears many folks with front loading washing machines have a problem with odors. I know this has been talked about on this forum. Here's an article which may be of interest.
The clothes are clean ... but what's that smell?
Stinky front-loading, high-efficiency washers give consumers ‘the willies’
When you buy a new washing machine, you don’t expect it to stink up your house. But that seems to be a common problem for people who own high-efficiency front-loading washers.

We just stick a towel in the door for part of the day and all is fine

I haven't had a problem with my Maytag but I do know two people that did. On one, Maytag replaced the unit with a top loader and the other was cleaned and re-built by Maytag.
