Have got complaints of a pongy dishwasher. Washed items come out
smelly too. They've tried hot washes with washing up liquid,
washing powder & bleach with no joy. Smells like drains. The
hottest program it does is 70C. Any ideas where to go from here?
Check the drain outlet pipe isn't blocked- pipe, however it gets to the
actual drain etc. Is there a U bend? Check it is clear etc.
Check there isn't any food etc caught in the drain filter at the bottom
of the cabinet.
We run a dishwasher cleaner thing through ours every now and then. A
little bottle of something you stand in it, run a max wash, (nothing
else in it).
Thanks everyone, I'll pass the info on. I don't wash dog balls in it
We have news... it often has water in it when finished, so it looks
like a drainage problem. It will be investigated soon.
No I think this is normal; but the running temperature *should* kill
most things biological.

When I worked in a hotel, the dish washers there used to have a pink
bloom on them which was a bacteria that actually lived on the soap/hot
water mixture . They had 'nothing in' washes with a washer cleaner
every so often. This kept the smellies at bay and stopped this (totally
harmless) bloom becoming a nuisance.
