    Where inside the door. Isn't it accessible ? Best way to avoid that problem is cleaning and rinsing the dishes off before you put them in the dishwasher. If you are not, then you are creating problems and odor in places you can see or even get to to clean.

    I have the same problem with my dishwasher - and it's also a Whirlpool. Are you talking about the lip around the door?

    I scrub mine with a toothbrush. When I asked the service man about it he said some of it is undissolved detergent.

    Mine is the kind with a garbage disposal at the bottom. I scrape plates and pots/pans before I load them but continue to have this problem.

    I think it's just a design flaw of some sort.

Hi, I own a Maytag Quiet Series 100 dishwasher, which has been working fine for the past 3.5 years.

I checked with my fingers for obstructions underneath the door, even used a mirror...
