My asko dishwasher smells like a tinny wet dog when the cycle is done. The dishes also have a faint smell. I tried running it with vinegar and cleaning what I could reach in the bottom. I have septic so I can't run bleach. I use cascade pods.

We had similar type of problem (as well as residual water always left in bottom) and after pulling out the dishwasher, found that the drainage tube was incorrectly installed by contractor. It was laying on the floor behind it with a only a slight rise to the garbage disposal inlet. I suspect this contributed to sewer odors as well a water back flowing into the dishwasher. I disconnected drainage tube so that it went up 24+" and then connected to garbage disposal (creates a loop that blocks sewer odors and back flow conditions). I also cleared out the filter at bottom of inside the dishwasher. The Use & Care Guide suggested using baking soda in China/Crystal mode for 10 minutes, opening the front door and letting it sit overnight. I repeated that for 3 nights and it did clear up the remaining odor. Don't know if this will help your issue or not. Good luck!

I suspect stagnant water is laying in the bottom areas. You will have to lay the machine on it's back to access the pump.

There is a new product out that works well for this problem.
It is called Affresh D, You can find it at most stores near the dishwashing detergents. It comes in a yellow bag.
