Hopefully an easy fix, but not exactly sure what to do.

The dishwasher is about a year old. Still cleans perfectly, but often has a lingering odor of rotten eggs.
Any suggestions ?

Thank you in advance

Your manual should contain cleaning instructions; routine maintenance that will vary depending on usage and water condition.

Thank you.

Some dishwashers will conceal black sludge in the front of the floor, in back of where the door lowers. You can only see it if you stick your head into the dishwasher and look down. Check to see if this is true with your unit. Kenmore Elites have (had)this issue.

If it has filters in the bottom make sure they are clean. Then put a cup of vinegar in it and run a short cycle.

Thank-you.

Some of them have an easily removable gasket along the bottom edge that the door closes against, and some just have removeable corners. Pull it/them out and clean them too.

Wash an empty load with a small amount of regular dw detergent and a cup of vinegar.

Vinegar is awesome at this stuff. Works well in the front load washers too once you get the bulk sludge scraped off.

most likely from a bad garbage disposal

Use a tablespoon of citric acid in the second wash cup with detergent every wash.

We add a lemon slice (squeezed already on the fish I caught- lol) on a fork in a wash once a week and use our own dish detergent of washing soda, Borax and baking soda... no chemicals.

My appliance store recommended Glisen, a powder you run thru a cycle. It got rid of the ordor my DW had after sitting a year in a vacant house.

That stuff is just citric acid at a much higher price
