    To try and prevent it happening again, do you keep the machine door open after a cycle? If you leave the door open and the detergent drawer open a bit, it'll allow air to circulate which should dry it out between washes.
    Yeah I do but its in a cold (but not damp) garage.

    It's probably going to struggle to dry out fully then if it's in an unheated area. Maybe just give it a wipe with paper towels or something a few hours after a wash to remove any moisture that has come out of te seals
