We’ve had a plumber to install a new sink and she checked all the pipes. I asked her specifically about the problem and she just shook her shoulders.

The dishwasher was brand new in August of 2024 and it’s been smelling since then. I bought a bottle of dishwasher cleaner and that didn’t help. I mean this smell is so bad it’ll make you sick!

Today I called the company that made it and she said they would have someone contact me.

In the meantime, I thought I would put it out to all of you - do you know anything that might help?

Was the smell there before the new sink installed? Also, a neighbor had new counter tops and sink installed, the air vent was in the way and had to be moved, there are specific requirements for how this device is installed, so have a qualified licensed plumber check it out.
