A second factor that may be the cause or contributing to that fishy smell is a problem with the drain hose coming out of your dishwasher. If it somehow got clogged, that backup of food particles can also be accumulating and rotting, causing the bad smell. Correcting any kinks in the hose to unlodge the clog or replacing it entirely can fix this situation.
There are some things that you can do and should do regularly to not only get that fishy smell out of your dishwasher but to keep it clean. Note that not every dishwasher has a filter, but if you have a newer model, it should have one. Make sure the dishwasher is running properly. You can also use rinse aids to increase the clean quality. Clean out all filters and make sure no food particles or grime buildup is present at the bottom of the unit.
As a preventative measure, rinse your dishes and cups with cold water before inserting them into the dishwasher. A poor reader this week has a rather unfortunate dishwasher situation:. My boyfriend and I recently moved into his condo and have found that the dishwasher — and the dishes that get washed in it — are really stinky.
Sort of a bad fish smell. Thanks in advance for your cleaning advice! Here is a fun fact for you! Newer models tend to have what are known as manual filters, which sounds like a less ideal set-up than a self-cleaning dealie but is actually what you want in your life for two reasons.
The first is that the self-cleaning filters, those grinders, are LOUD. Which you might have guessed just based on the name!
