It appears to be a known issue with these. I could put a couple of pints of CLR descaling solution in the bottom and leave it overnight. CLR is made for Calcium, Lime and RUST.

It would be helpful if you posted the brand and model number. If this is a top-loading washer, was the agitator going back and forth during the was cycle?

For what it's worth, I serviced a washing machine that didn't clean properly and smelled bad. The space between the inner and outer tubs was cogged with lint (visible through the plastic outer tub when the front cover was removed). The fix was to run a full cotton wash cycle with no clothes, and CLR instead of detergent, then another cycle with water only to make sure everything was rinsed out. See the recommendation on the CLR label, but first check your owner's manual for any specific instructions on cleaning the machine.

Check the water inlet feed flex lines it could be coming from them .

The tub is probably pretty dirty. Try cleaning the washer with CLR.

Use CLR or any other lime scale remover you can find. Pour out any water in the bottom chamber and put some CLR into it. leave it for 10 minutes to an hour. Run it to have some CLR so though any passages, then pour out any remaining CLR and replace with water again to wash out the CLR. When you are satisfied that the CLR is all rinsed and replaced with clean water, then it is safe to iron again. CLR can alway be put on a cloth and wipe the iron surface or any deposits.

use vinegar or clr

I use bleach with hot water and that usually solves the problem of built up grime.

take the hose of the back of the washing machine most likely the screen is full of calcium or rust,clean it or use CLR this will fix the problem
