My Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 series washer has an odor problem, how can I solve?

My Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 series washer has an odor problem, how can I solve this issue? I have run empty loads with bleach numerous times and this does not remedy the situation. All clothes come out with a sour smell. Could this be a mold issue, and if so, how can I take the machine apart to detect this?

Mine too. Been a long time I've let it go. I thought it might be the source water but the water in the rest of the house is ok. I wonder if there may be a filter somewhere other than the incoming water line, but I've lost the manual and Kenmore website wants $14... - I guess I'll have to rip it poen this weekend.
