Dishwasher odor
When my dishwasher is not used for several days, the inside of the machine develops a nasty odor, even if there are no dirty dishes in there. I have looked for garbage trapped in the screen. What else should I be checking?

Is there water left in the DW after the cycles end? Is the discharge hose connected before or AFTER the trap on the sink? Just a couple things that could cause this. Good luck.

BY THE LAW OF GRAVITY NOT ALL WATER LEAVES THE DISHWASHER THERE IS ALWAYS SOME IN THE PUMP AREA... IT IS ALSO GOOD HABIT TO RUN A CLEANER THRU ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS TO KEEP EVERYTHING FRESH.. THERE IS A CLEANER THAT IS CALLED "GLISTEN" LAVES A NICE LEMON SCENT JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGE....
