Clean the door seals regularly. They can get clogged up with hair and other shmutz. Quick wipe around (and inside the grooves) once a week or and you’re golden.
As CEO said, much, much less detergent.
Cycles - I’ve been using ones that go for 40-60 minutes generally. Never an issue with cleanliness and freshness. If it’s a smart washer with lots of programs, ones specifically for towels are a must. Might take a bit longer but towels end up brilliant.
Oh, and front loaders are gentler on all fabrics :)

Do you use any cleaning agent on the seals or just a damp cloth is enough?
No cleaning agent. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and leave the door and detergent compartment open when finished. Helps stop mould from forming.
Hygiene wash is important. Don’t skip it.
