Dishwasher smell that wouldnt go away finally fixed after 3 months
Had a customer in Tacoma with a dishwasher that smelled like rotten eggs no matter what we did. Cleaned the filter, ran vinegar cycles, checked the drain line, all the usual stuff. Finally pulled the unit out and found the spray arm was packed with old food chunks blocking half the holes. Swapped in a new spray arm for $45 and the smell was gone instantly. Has anyone else had a hidden blockage like that after the standard cleaning routine failed?

Did you happen to check the sump area too while you had it pulled out? I've seen the same thing happen where food bits collect down in that little trap under the filter and it keeps stinking even after you clean everything else. A brush and some hot water down there usually does the trick, but it's easy to miss if you just do the normal wipe down.
