I have used regular powdered Tang (the NASA orange drink) to both clean and freshen dishwashers. I am a REALTOR and have helped many "sellers" make their dishwasher like new. The white plastic tubs can get really stained with hard water...even to a dark brown and the build up smells. For a mild problem, you only have to fill the two cups in the door and run a regular cylcle in empty dishwasher. For a particularly bad case, I've used an entire canister with perfect results after one try. I guess it's the citric acid...but, I had someone try with Countrytime Lemonade mix, since they had it on hand with less successful results. Good luck!
The disposal has to be in place so that the drain on the dishwasher is connected. If you do not have a disposal or are removing it, there is a extension tube for the drain that has the dishwasher tube in it. The disposal does not have to work for the dishwasher to drain. The water is run through the disposal so that any food particles get ground before going in the drain. After a while, the disposal will begin to smell if it is not run.

LG LDF7932ST Dishwasher - Stainless Steel is the dishwasher consumes the least amount of water
Yes. Dishwasher Tablets do dissolve in water, but they take a bit of time.
You can, but it would render the dishwasher useless for cleaning.
The problem is the solinoid valve in the dishwasher Pay your water bill
Your dishwasher may have a leak. Look under it with a flashlight just after it's finished a wash.
No it isn't! Just mix the dishwasher gel with a certain amount of water and thats it!
Remove the plastic cap as much as you can. Pull gently or leave it alone. Don’t scrape it off. It will damage the heating element. Unload the dishwasher and set those dishes aside. If you can bi pass the wash cycle and set it to dry cycle only, let it run for 20 minutes or longer. It will burn out the rest of the plastic smell and eventually go away. If this doesn’t work, run the dishwasher empty. More than likely the element is used to heat water and dry dishes. Once the smell is gone, rewash the previous load with detergent.
The pump in the dishwasher should keep the water from getting into it.
my Bosch SHU4300 dishwasher does not have HOT water anymore. Is there an element in there?
yes. water caught in the drain line may contain food particulate which can decompose and cause gasses to escape back into the house.
