Stinky Dishwasher

We just moved into our first home and the dishwasher stinks. I used Summit Dishwasher Magic when we first moved in and the smell left. Now its back. Is there something that I can do to control the smell? I've never had a stinky dishwasher problem before.

    Check to see if the filter is dirty? Most dishwashers come with some type of a trap to gather the larger bits of food... I'd check that.

     Also, you may have to use the dishwasher cleaner on a regular basis.  We throw one it once every couple of months. 

  • From time to time we run it empty and use vinegar to clean it.

  • Check the filter first as PP said.  Some dishwashers also have an additional trap underneath the filter, Check that too. 

    Once a month, put powdered lemonade into the soap dispense and run an empty load to keep it clean.  The acidity of the lemonade removes the soap build up.

    This. CLR is also an option.
