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).

It's probably caused by bacteria. I find a good dose of disinfectant
invariably works.

Because you wash dog's rubber balls in it.

Most likely the pump isnt emptying it properly and
so the remaining water festers in it between uses.

I'd check the inner filters arent all clogged up and
if they are fine, see why it isnt emptying properly.

Sounds like a growth of some kind. The main stuff used has a high nitrogen
release content I'd imagine, ideal for things to grow on.
There has to be something that can be done, though if its in a very
inaccessible place, good luck.

We have news... it often has water in it when finished, so it looks like a drainage problem. It will be investigated soon.

thanks

No I think this is normal; but the running temperature *should* kill
most things biological.

It's not normal, she hadn't thought to mention it. Dishwashers pump out after the drying cycle.

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.

Makes it sound horrible.

As part of my working at the hotel I ordered the soaps/disinfectants
etc. It was the "Diversey"[1] (a soap manufacturer) rep/salesman who
told me this 'pink bloom' was harmless, but he had exactly the product
to 'cure' it MRDA.

Sure the bloom was more pink than a deep red as illustrated in that
article (different stuff? or just a light case). This was twenty five
years ago, and I don't work there anymore indeed the building itself has
been demolished so I can hardly go check.

The solution to that is often to run a hot wash with a bottle of dish-washer cleaner in it. Works every time for the machines in our lets.
