Why is there a god-awful smell coming from inside my dishwasher?

Question

My hubby tore the whole thing apart and it was clean! Next he took the hose off the garbage disposal and said maybe?? So we filled up the sink, poured a box of baking soda in and flushed out the garbage disposal and it still reeks like a family of skunks died in my dish washer? What the heck?

Answer 1

try vinigar. what about a bleach/water solution? it doesn't take much so becareful. it's a buildup of food somewhere in there. just keep flushing it out and it should go away.

Answer 3

The d/w drain line that runs to the g/d must run higher than the bottom of the sink if it runs down hill to the d/w that food you cut up in the g/d is running into the d/w and what a smell. Tie the drain line up so water from the sink will not run back to the d/w
