Why does my washing machine stink?

I use washing machine cleaner and put it on a drum clean wash, I clean the filter out and after one wash it stinks again. I use liquid detergent in a ball, fabric softener in the drawer and leave the door open after a wash to give it an airing. Just fed up with it smelling and don't know where I'm going wrong? Machine is just over a year old.

@BertieBotts - that’s interesting about the Wpro being citric acid. Noted thanks. I was using the Dettol washing machine cleaners fairly regularly but the engineer recommended these instead. And of course sold them….😄. I’ll just buy citric acid in future.
