Bob for Model Number MDB4949SDZ0

This dishwasher occasionally has grayish water sitting in the bottom and a foul odor along with it. Pump seems to clear water at end of wash cycle, and as the unit is not yet 1 year from purchase, I don't believe discharge pump is bad. Is there a check valve somewhere in the drain hose system that may not be working? If so will you give me the part number for this model dishwasher? Can't seem to find it in the manufacturer's parts diagrams. Model mdb4949sdz0 Thank you, Bob

Answer

Bob, Make sure under your sink where the drain hose ties into your plumbing that there is an air gap. Meaning the hose leaving your drain goes up before it goes back down to the dishwasher. You can use some zip ties is the easiest way to secure the hose where you want it.
