Hello, Tell your husband to wash his feet some place else, OK. it needs to be cleaned. Don't put you hand in it, OK. On the top in sink remove the rubber flapper and clean it with soap water and vingear. Put about four large cups of ice and tuirn on the disposer. The ice clean out any stuff that in the chopping blades. Mix up a sink of water, soda and a little clorex in the disposer sink then let the sink drain and turn on the gargage disposer then let it run while water is running into it. Do a cleaning procedure once or two a month. couple of lemons, Clorex, baking Soad, this stuff will work great. It will make you disposer smell like fresh spring day but tell you husband to keep his feet out of the kitchen sinks. GB...stewbison

Why does our Samsung DMT300RFW dishwasher have a terrible odor coming from it ?

Usually caused by a draining problem. Check your drain hose where it goes into you garbage disposal. That drain hose should be mounted up so water from the sink and garbage disposal can't backwash into the dishwasher. Use a clamp or zip tie to mount the drain hose so it goes up at least 4 to 6 inches above the garbage disposal port.

Likely your drain hose goes into your garbage disposer and does not have a rise before it enters the disposer. You will get backwash from your disposer falling back into your dw causing the odor. Simple fix is to make sure the drain hose travels upward a couple inches as it comes out of the disposer. Thanks

Continuous Odor in the machine

I would check your drain line. If its connected to the disposal make sure its elevated you may be getting back flow from the disposal into the dishwasher. Hope this helps _MJ_

Foul odor coming from insinkerator disposal

the only thing that should be used to clean a disposal is "Ice" anything else will / could cause several different problems. Run the water for about 10 seconds, turn the disposal on, put a few handfulls of ice down the drain, when the ice is gone, leave the water running for about 20 seconds. This both cleans the unit and sharpens the blades..

Dishwasher odor

MY dishwasher had the same smell coming from it. I discovered that under the bottom of the door against the seal was a build up of dirty rotten stuff. When I cleaned that all out the smell went away
