Hi

Our dishwasher is connected to the sink waste above the trap as per normal.
I can see the logic in this, as the trap prevents drain smells getting to
the dishwasher.

However, last week SWIMBO had poached haddock for dinner - and I can't abide
the taste or smell of fish.

When the dish & plate were put in the dishwasher, every rinse cycle resulted
in a horrid fishy pong coming up from the sink waste.

Any way round this apart from a separate waste?




Did the DW smell of fish afterwards?

That can be fixed with a 75 degree wash if the machine has one or by running
it empty with a dishwasher cleaner - can't remember the name but plastic
bottle that you put in and plug in the top melts with the heat releasing the
contents.

For intra wash mal-odour, I can't really see any way around it but a separate
waste (you'd need to get a handyman in to fit one) or curtailing your wife's
pescatorial pursuits.
