I just tell her she needs to shower.

LMFAO....just made my day !

Even my wife thought that was hilarious!

I told that one to my wife. She didn't get it. I had to explain it. Then she laughed.

Could be part of the reason she didn't get it at first is I'm the one who mainly does the dishes? That's the deal: She does the cooking. I do the cleanup.

That's why brides always wore white. You want your dishwasher to match the refrigerator.

Puzzling that is happening with a new diswasher. Might want to contact manufacturer for their advice.

I have had good luck with Finish dual action diswasher cleaner.

Other things to check which some have been already mention.

Clean any filter and screen. Pour vinegar water into outlet area inside filter/screen and let sit for a while. Clean any compnents inside/out in the filter/screen assembly.

Check seals around loading door and some may fold and have a backside not normally seen that can accumulate some really smelly stuff that only can be cleaned with some elbow grease and a good cleaner/paper towels.

Via elbow grease clean inside walls and door of diswasher. Clean and dry well as you don't want anything to foam too much with the next wash. I used Simple Green diluted 15:1 I believe. Might also want to refer to owners manual or manufacturer website for instructions on cleaning/odor issues and what they recommend to use for cleaning. Example from Maytag is below.

Good luck!

Tell everyone to rinse anything with milk or milk product (ice cream, etc) in it before loading into diswasher.

Maybe just run the short rinse cycle (if your dishwasher has one) after you remove the dishes?

I can't say if there is a P trap incorporated into the dish washer itself but when I installed mine I formed a trap with the discharge hose using conduit straps. Sure there should be one after the disposal/sink outlet but disposals especially can accumulate rotting food. If it's a straight shot back to the dishwasher you may be getting gasses or sour water back into the dishwashers basin due to the difference elevation (disposal being higher).

I use my disposal sparingly because I'm on septic but do run it daily whether it needs it or not so keep any accumulated crud washed away.

I was just up in PA for three weeks visiting my daughter and family, and noticed how wonderful the city's water tastes. Florida's water almost always smells and tastes bad out of the tap and always has in every town I've ever had a glass of water in.

So, in Florida, to keep the dishwasher smelling nice we use Afresh. They make a couple-three different kinds that we use for the dishwasher, washing machine and garbage disposal.

Works for us. Oh, and we use bottled water for drinking, filtered water from the Whirlpool for coffee and tea.

I had a Bosch that would smell if not ran daily. Never figured out why.

The Samsung and Whirlpool dishwashers we had since have no issues.

Hope you figure it out.

Completely washing off your dishes before putting them into the dishwasher can do this.

The "soap" is really a mix of enzymes that needs a catalyst, which in this case is food product.

Nothing should ever go into the dishwasher if it does NOT dissolve - lettuce, rice, meat onions, etc.

Things that do dissolve will activate the "soap".

So, scrape the plates but leave some residue.

Use a powder "soap", but avoid the liquid. Pods are powder, so they are OK. Keep the rinse aid full, it helps to dry the dishes and helps to prevent calcium build-up.

Try this, after all, what do you have to lose?
It will work.
