Whirlpool dishwasher smell

Asked Sep 2, 2006, 03:11 PM — 4 Answers
We have a whirlpool silent partner III dishwasher that is 2-1/2 years old. It has developed a very unpleasent odor (like a dead animal). We have tried several remedies...vinegar, bleach, baking soda, etc. The odor goes away for a couple of washes and then returns with a vengence. We have even quit using our disposal just in case it is somehow related. Short of disassembling the thing (which I am not comfortable with) I am at wits end. Any suggestions?
