If it's a side-loading washer, you're not supposed to close the door all the way when it isn't in use. That's why it smelled.

Mine (Miele) actually says to close the door completely to reduce the possibility of small children or pets entering. We ignore that bit though.

Mine says not to close it to avoid mold and shit

Pretty sure this is true for all modern washers, ours is top load and it says leave door open when not in use.

Show us your non-dumb way to keep the water in without making the door watertight, then.

It's annoying, but it's a trade-off for front-loaders being better at cleaning.
