What is true of this model and changes how you fix it

Hardware — Speed Queen product page
3.5 cu ft, stainless steel tub, Pet Plus cycle (flea-removal), Dynamic Balancing Technology, Sanitize with Oxi, 11 wash cycles, 5-year warranty.
Type — commercial-grade FRONT-LOAD
A commercial-grade FRONT-LOAD washer with a door gasket. Gasket care governs odor, but Speed Queen front-loaders are built robustly and fill/rinse well. Covered by a 5-year warranty.
Durable build
Commercial construction with a strong spin; faults tend to be mechanical (door lock, drain pump, fill/drain valve) rather than a lot of software error codes.
Front-load care
Wipe and dry the gasket, leave the door ajar, and run a clean-washer cycle to keep it fresh, the same as any front-loader; a drain issue is usually the drain-pump filter or hose.
Balance
Dynamic balancing technology that cuts noise and vibration.
Warranty
5 years on parts and in-home labor, with a lifetime warranty on the outer tub and drum.
Display
A time-remaining display, so a countdown that pauses is a balance or fill step, not a stall.

Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the Speed Queen FF7 front-load washer

Does the Speed Queen FF7 front-loader get smelly like other front-loads?+

Any front-loader can if the gasket and drum are not aired out, so the same maintenance applies — wipe the gasket dry, leave the door ajar, run a clean cycle, and do not overdose detergent. Speed Queen's robust build and strong spin help by extracting more water, but the mildew-prevention routine is still the front-load basics rather than something the machine does entirely on its own.
