cleaning a washing machine

I recently moved and while my new place comes with a washing machine, it's a bit scuzzy. Specifically, the bleach tray and the fabric softener dispensers have an icky film on them. I was thinking of maybe running the machine empty and trying to flush them both out or something? I don't know. Any tips on cleaning a washing machine?

I assume the tray isn't the removable sort. The one in mine comes out when you pull it out and up. When it gets cruddy, I just take it out and scrub it.

Anyway, baking soda and a scrub brush seems to work well.
