, before and after cleaning!- Before we get into the whole clean out the filter and the door seals thing. We have done that. (I am pretty handy and good at troubleshooting) I have cleaned as much of the door seal that I could access and the drain pump area that a tech showed us before. One wash later and the shirts have an oily residue that does not wash away. We don't use fabric softener and use mild detergent as it is. We have run several washer cleaning cycles and washer cleaning aids (just in case) it works fine one cycle and then boom oily spots or blotches on clothes.
Use warm water and powdered detergent. Leave the door open in between cycles and it will be clean as a whistle in a week... Powdered detergent is HE also, don't believe the hype, stop wasting your money on useless chemicals to rinse away the garbage chemical soaps you are being ripped-off by... Hopefully, the liquid detergent hasn't corroded the washtub and drive shaft so badly it is oozing slime!

Keeping in mind that the soap & bleach gets dispensed into your wash on the
second to last rinse cycle and that most all rinse cycles are in cold
water. Is your cold water valve screen plugged causing your washer to
rinse poorly? Are you using the HE detergent? If not maybe the
washer is sudsing up to much and having a hard time rinsing all the
suds and bleach out and leaving the clothes soapy.
Fill the washer up with no clothes in it on a cold/cold wash setting
does it take a long time to fill the washer up? Also when it is full
and agitating is there suds in the washer?
Last suggestion is if the drain is hose is a lot higher than the top of
the washer it might have a hard time draining out all of the soap
water before the next load

Peace,
ngafm at your service,
How old is the washer?
And how long has it been smelling bad?
Some front loaders over the years have had this problem and the worse used to be the Maytag Neptune!
This is what I tell my customers to do:
Friend,
ngfam1 At your service!
It is normal for some frond load washers to have a little water left in the inner tub after the wash finishes!
I do tell my customers to run the washer once a week without clothes and with hot water and 1/4 cup of bleach. And then make sure to do only white clothes directly after wards as not to get a drop of beach water on a colored article of clothing!
Then leave the door open after every load when not in use!
If this will not help I would call frigidiare and tell them you must have it replaced that it is affecting your family because of the mold smell!
Believe me they will swap it out after all the money you spent on it, you deserve it! BUT REMEMBER MANY people have this problem with some front load machines!
if it's not new then perhaps the pump is faulty or the lint is clogging int he pump of the machine!
Let me know what happens!
Bless You,
please give me a rating before you sign off!

SOURCE: Washer not cleaning clothes
The filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath. The panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the drain pipe you see. The white filter cover is right in front. Get yourself a good plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back in carefully.
On some models the filter is located ‘inside’ the big hose from the bottom of the tub. This takes more time to clean.
Next run your washer with 2 cups of bleach, hot water. After it starts agitating stop the washer & let it remain for 2 hours. Then continue the wash.
Try using powders for 'front loaders'
SOURCE: Spots on clothes after washing
Put another filter on before the washer. Try to find out if it is in the hot water or the cold. If it is the cold try a filter. If it is the hot, replace your hot water tank.
SOURCE: For LG WM2233HW, Error Code OE. Already check
Replace the water pump. Because the water can not pump out, the machine idles for a while then stops with the error code OE. The technician said, the drain hose should be hang high before curse down to the drainage so air can not go to the hose.
