Bob for Model Number Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Model No. 13963K012 Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Model No. 13963K012 S/N F12107738 Bob Issue – Strong Residual Odor Within Washer & Within Glasses After Washing We have had the issue for months if not a few years. I have tried numerous washing detergents/cleaners, vinegar, sanitize cycle repeatedly, etc. I notice what looks like mold in the discharge/drain hose and want to replace it. Questions: 1. Is the check valve pat of the standard hose assembly or a separate part, if the latter, might you have order info? 2. Is there another hose, attached to the washer that I should replace? 3. The unit is hooked up to the garbage disposal. Could there be a related issue here I should address? 4. Might you have a DIY video for this or very similar unit? 5. I want to fix this issue once and for all. ANY issues I should examine, parts I should replace while I have it apart ? I followed your DIY video on a door seal for a Samsung clothes washer-great, part fit perfect. Any direction would be much appreciated !!! Bob robertanovak@comcast.net
Answer Bob, It is possible that there is some build up in the drain of the unit that is causing the odor. You can try a product called glisten dishwasher cleaner to see if it will help with the odor. If not and nothing is in the drain then would suggest to replace the drain hose. Cleaner part number W10549845. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, July 26, 2017
