How can I get my dishwasher smelling right again?

Question

A plastic spoon fell to the bottom of my dishwasher and now when i use it the water smells bad and it makes the dishes smell. how can i fix this?

Answer 1

It will smell until all the plastic residue burns off coils completely. The more you use the dishwasher, the sooner the smell will go away.

Answer 2

have seen this answer before.   with an empty washer use one to two packages of KOOL ADE  LEMONADE flavor only.

set it for a wash cycle and wash the washer.

it's supposed also help remove stains.    it's food and it's cheap. why not give it a try?

good luck to ya

Answer 3

Run a cycle with vinegar (no dishes). I think that might help.

You did remove the spoon, didn't you?
