Dishwasher smells, has liquid in bottom.
 

My friend's dishwasher doesn't smell so good. What's a good way to
get rid of the smell.

It also always has some water in the bottom. Is that ok? It's a
Nautilous model I think, but I keep forgetting the make. I can get
the make if it is important.


Nautilous.

Hi,

My friend's dishwasher doesn't smell so good. What's a good way to
get rid of the smell.

Depends on why it is smelling. This a new problem, happening a while?
Built in model, postable model, any plumbing changes lately?

These may help.

It also always has some water in the bottom. Is that ok?

Many dishwashers will have water visable in the bottom.

It's a

the make if it is important.

Some model# helps....

sounds like maybe the drain is plugged

does the drain line run into a garbage disposal?

does the garbage disposal work if so?

also the drain pump could be going bad or clogged

It is normal to have some water at the bottom of the tub. All dishwashers
do.
