I just get that finish dishwasher cleaner - last time I got the active brand and it smells NICE and they work. Another thing to do is to leave the door slightly ajar to let the steam out so it drys out properly, that helps withthe smell too.]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 09:02:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1310484&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1310484 <![CDATA[Bad dishwasher smell... : Rach, use the heaviclean, put...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1310418&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1310418 Author: AandCsmum

Rach, use the heaviclean, put a little bit in the powder bit & put it on for a full cycle, you will need to run it again to get rid of the froth down the bottom but I found that it cleaned the dishwasher really well. After that I then wiped around the seals around the door to remove the gunk.

We had this - turned out one of the pipes was kinked and waste was clogging in the pipes. Only found this out due to a mouse doing $2,500 worth if damage to our kitchen by chewing through the dishwasher hose. ]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:24:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1310397&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1310397 <![CDATA[Bad dishwasher smell... : Ooooo man ours STINKS if you open...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309422&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309422 Author: Shezamumof3

Ooooo man ours STINKS if you open it just after you have turned it on, it smells foul! We think its the pipes or something, so are going to try one of the cleaners. We clean the filter out all the time but it still stinks.]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:22:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309422&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309422 <![CDATA[Bad dishwasher smell... : Have you given it a good clean...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309230&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309230 Author: KH25

Have you given it a good clean - all around the seals and door, around the bottom and scrubbed out the little basket thing that catches food and gets really ?]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:27:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309230&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309230 <![CDATA[Bad dishwasher smell... : I use baking soda in our dishwasher...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309190&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309190 Author: Caro07

I use baking soda in our dishwasher and sometimes a white vinegar rinse.

Haven't done it for a while but I think I run an empty cycle with baking soda, and then a rinse cycle with white vinegar. Google for something along these lines and you'll find the right mix.

I use baking soda as my dishwash powder most of the time and not only are the dishes clean but it very rarely smells.]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:42:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309190&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309190 <![CDATA[Bad dishwasher smell... : Hi guys, just wondering if anyone...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38864&PID=1309170&title=bad-dishwasher-smell#1309170 Author: RachFizz

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has any tips for getting rid of this?

It smells moldy...

Have been using a freshener (one of those hangy things) and have also done a couple of cycles with those cleaner things you can buy but it hasn't made that much difference!

Am I going about it the wrong way?

Advice appreciated
