I wouldn't use vinegar, rather run it with some baking soda in it. That should work.How do you get a musty smell out of the laundry washer?
That should work.
Yes vinegar is excellent.However you only need a cupful.


put the machine on the hottest cycle with no clothes.Don`t worry there will not be any smell of vinegar.I always put half a cupful in my final rinse and believe me the clothes are much softer than if i used a fabric softener.So try it and see for yourself believe me you will be surprised.
bleach
Run bleach and hot water. It will kill off the icky stuff, and help de-scum the pipes.
stop inserting your filthy pants into said machine
Pretty good previous answers: Yes, vinegar should work; Yes, baking soda should help; Yes, even bleach should have a positive effect. Not all together, of course or you'll have a toxic/explosive combination. You may want to go one step further - find the souce. If you're washing machine is typical, then you can lift the top similarly to the way you open the top on your cooking range. This will give you access to the bits of lint that get caught in the upper splash pan...heck, you might even find a missing sock if you look down along the drum!
try running a load of bleach water, vinegar probably wouldn't hurt either. just remember to do a couple plain water loads before you put your clothes in. don't wanna go around smelling like vinegar and bleach. ewww
