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!

Can you run the dishwasher if the garbage disposal is not connected?
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.
