Dishwasher smell...the little known culprit.....

My dishwasher was so nasty smelling. During the wash or dry cycles I'd have this nasty funky, sorta fishy smell coming from the vent.

Asked my fil (retired repairman) what in the world it could be. Thought for sure I'd have to take my dishwasher apart and clean something and this is the tip he gave me:

open up, take out the bottom rack. Where the door hinge meets the machine body, take a scrub brush (in my case I had to use a scrapper) and check the inner lip down there inside the machine (in the body just below where it meets the door) and clean the built up gunk off. OMG!!! It was soooo nasty. Took a bit of scrubbing but it's gone and so is the smell. Talk about disgusting build up! Just thinking this might help someone on here before they end up tearing their machine apart.

Have a great week!
