Introduction
Stop bad dishwasher odors by cleaning food scraps from the tub and running a dishwasher cleaner through a cycle.If you have bad dishwasher smells after running a cycle, don’t reach for the bleach bottle. Bleach is very corrosive to metal parts and doesn’t solve the root problem. The smell comes from bacteria that feed on trapped food and grease in the strainer screen at the bottom of the machine, in the jets in the sprayer arms and along the bottom edge of the door.
