How do you get stagnit water smell out of a dishwasher?

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!

Dishwasher safe symbol?

I don't think that there is such a thing, universally recognised, as a "dishwasher safe" symbol. People often confuse the Glass and Fork symbol, which simply means that the item is safe for food contact. It is high time that products carried a simple, universal range of symbols which indicate their suitability for microwaves, ovens, dishwashers etc. It would make our lives much easier.

If it has a metal body you attach a suitable cable to match the ground or earth wire colour in your country ( such as a 6 mm squared cross sectional area ) copper cable with green-yellow ( in the U.K.) insulation colours to the metallic frame of the dishwasher with a cable lug and a brass ( preferably ) nut & bolt. Then using a suitable length of cable to the nearest grounded piece of metalwork such as a copper pipe using a "earth clip" for a copper pipe.

How much diswasher salt should you put in your hoover dishwasher?

What on earth is dishwasher salt?!?

If you mean soap, usually about a tablespoon per cup will work. That's less than the manual will suggest but it should be enough to get your dishes clean. If not, add another tablespoon.

Some dishwashers have a salt dispenser down in the bottom of the machine. This is really nice if you live in cities with hard water. It helps keep glasses from getting cloudy. To answer the question. You can't over fill your machine. The trick for me seems to be finding the dishwasher salt.
