Fixing a foul, musty, or rotten food smell emitting from a residential dishwasher requires a thorough physical cleaning and deodorizing process. First, pull out the lower dish rack, lift out the cylindrical plastic filter basket at the base of the tub, and scrub away trapped food sludge under running water with a soft brush. Second, wipe down the rubber door gasket and lower frame corners where grease accumulates. Third, place a dishwasher-safe bowl filled with one cup of distilled white vinegar on the top rack and run a hot wash cycle without detergent. You can troubleshoot interior odors easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning the filter and running a hot vinegar cycle leaves the stainless steel interior smelling fresh, clean, and completely deodorized.
