Hmm. Not had mould problems in our washing machine, despite (I think)

Did you do a 60C wash?

I think a lot of the modern problems have come about with people never
going above 40C or even 30C, because of this silly eco-******** that
it's worth saving some small fraction of a kWh for a 30C wash vs 60C

I think clothes last longer if washed at lower temperatures. I do use
the higher ones for handkerchiefs, towels, sheets, & underwear,
though.
