Even with HE detergent you can get build up. Do you use a powder?

I use SA8 liquid and if I need to run a cycly without clothes I can use it to clean the washer.

If I let someone use my washer I insist they use the SA8 becasue it does not build up in the washer. Hot water and vinegar will work well, I can't think of what bleach will do to grime or dirt excpect make it white??

You can get SA8 at we-us.mychoices.biz

I have a front loader, apartment size.

Vinegar once a both. Run it on a hot water cycle. This was recommended to me by Sears when they came to do the yearly maintence on our washer and dryer

Mine (whirpoll duet) has a clean washer cycle that you just put bleach in and it runs whatever it runs to clean it.

Use vinegar- I've never done it before so I don't know how much you should use, but it will help get it clean and help break up any mineral deposits. Look on ehow.com- they have lots of great suggestions for cleaning different things with household products.
