This is my mother in law's solution from the 1950's that we still follow....
1 -Using a scrub brush and a small pail of hot water and mild soap and bleach, scrub the inside and outside of the gasket. Yes, you will get bleach water on your clothes. have a fan stationed to ventilate into the washer so you don't choke yourself. ventilate the room as well.
2 -Run a cup of bleach and hot water into it on a cleaning cycle. take the opportunity to wash the heck out of a pair of nice thick white towels if you have them... having fabric in there helps scrub stuff.
3- Leave it open with a fan blowing into it for a day (ventilate the room, because the bleach smell is gonna be heavy duty).
Repeat every few years.
