towel dry
I've read in several places that pouring vinegar down the dishwasher drain (a lot) and then running the empty dishwasher will kill the ants and keep them from coming back.

you still have to rinse them if you are not
Actually the last time the trendy glasses came out it was November of 2007. So they might come out in spring. Or summer! I love them a lot! :)
A bad smell coming from your dishwasher drain is often caused by food particles and debris that have accumulated over time. This can lead to the growth of bacteria and mold, resulting in the unpleasant odor. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your dishwasher can help prevent this issue.
Dishwasher water may come out of the sink if there is a clog in the drain pipe that connects the dishwasher to the sink. This can cause water to back up and overflow into the sink. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage and ensure proper drainage.
It is normal for dishwashes to discharge below the sink into the "S bend" (otherwise called the trap) this trap is there to stop the smell from the drain coming into the house. Often there is a spigot on the trap onto which the hose from the dishwasher fits, so if this is how yours is done you will find a roughly 20mm hose under your sink coming from the direction of the dishwasher and going into the side of the sink trap, also you will hear the waste water discharging into the trap as the dishwasher cycles.
The purpose of a p-trap for a dishwasher is to prevent sewer gases from entering the dishwasher and to allow proper drainage of water. It helps maintain a seal of water in the trap, which prevents odors and gases from coming back up the drain. This contributes to the proper functioning of the dishwasher by ensuring that it operates efficiently and hygienically.
The stinky smell coming from your dishwasher drain is likely due to food particles and grease buildup. To fix it, try cleaning the drain with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, running a hot water cycle with a dishwasher cleaner, and regularly removing food debris from the filter.

The dishes may be cold coming out of the dishwasher because the drying cycle did not run or was not set to a high enough temperature. Check the settings and make sure the heat dry option is selected. It's also possible that your dishwasher may have a malfunctioning heating element, which would need to be repaired or replaced.
