    Stinky rotten egg smell when running dish washer, disposal, and washing machine
    We have a Stinky rotten egg smell emotting when running dish washer, disposal, and washing machine.
    Sometimes the fire alarm goes off, which is equipped w/ CO2 sensor, but reaDs like there us a fire?! Aside from tr horrible smells, I'm concerned about gases too.

    Do you ever clean out your dishwasher? Possibly run some diluted bleach through it, manually clean around the door. There is a lot of crud that accumulates if you don't rinse dishes off first.

    Just for an FYI, Your Smoke detector has a CO sensor (Carbon Monoxide) not CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).

    Do you have a well... or are you on city water? Do you get the same odors when you are taking a shower or running water from the sinks?

    Do you ever get these odors when you AREN'T running any of those? Does the odors originate in the areas of those are located upon starting them?

    Too much iron in well water will cause the sulphur smell. Otherwise, ask neighbors if they have the same problem. If you don't have well water ask for a water quality report that will list everything that is in the water.

    Are you want city water or do you have a well? Back to you, Tom
