I watched it, too. My washer has never smelled, but it scared me. t looks like you have a Samsung like I do... I just watched a video and the whole thing has to be disassembled and the drum pulled out... and that disassembled as well. I'm including a link in case you're a masochist. Thank you for the straw cleaner idea, because I was prepared to just wonder about mold in my clothes 24 hours a day for the rest of my life. It's better to just know either way.
