Thanks!

Always keep the door open after the wash so it can air out.
Do a vinegar cycle to clean out the machine.

This.
Is it a front loader? If so, good to also wipe down the gasket after use.

I have the same thing.
Do I have to wipe after each use?
There are tons of cracks and crevices. Impossible to get into everything.

Yes. Mold starts to grow on damp surfaces within 24 hours, though you may not be able to see it till much later. I keep a dedicated set of rags for the purpose right next to the machine. There aren't THAT many folds.
In short:
a. wipe the gasket every time you finish using the machine. Also remove the detergent/softener drawer and wipe it or let it air dry
b. run a tub clean cycle with bleach every 1-3 months (read your owner's manual, it may say monthly, but I do it every 3 months.)
c. If your machine has a little door on the bottom, open it up, find the little hose, remove the plug and let the water drain into a shallow basin. Do this at least once a month, though I do it every time I use the machine. I don't want to give mold any chance of getting a foot in the door.
