Basic dishwasher maintenance should include the “Tang Treatment” a few times a year. Take a container of Tang and dump it into the empty (no dishes), already filled with hot water dishwasher and run it through the longest cycle possible.
The citric acid in the Tang will remove the soap buildup in all the jets and fittings. You won’t believe what a difference it will make! This soap buildup feeds molds and bacteria, so removing it will go a long way to removing odors.
Just a note: The advice to get rid of the “kinky” drain line is right on the money!

tom: did you try to put vinegar and run the dishwasher like this article says? my personal ‘solution’ is to put concentrated lemon juice to get rid of the bad smell. i also use lemon juice for my microwave oven.

Greetings : The dish washer smells terrible every
time we do dishes. It even smells the whole house up before the washer is done washing the
dishes. Please – Any suggestion we will try it.
Many Thanks – Respectfully Tom

Ahhhhh, it gives me a secret little thrill when folks are confounded by their dishwashers while I am standing at my sink sweating, handwashing the upteenth sinkfull of dishes for the day.
