This dishwasher recently started leaving the odor of dishwashing detergent on the dishes, we tried changing brands, but its still there.
Any suggestions?

Is the dishwasher still cleaning as it did before?

Have you tried using less detergent?

Is it in any specific items like plastic?

Where is the water level in the dishwasher?

Is it draining properly?

Can you please verify your model number as I can't locate it in our database?

The wash quality has degraded a bit since new.

We switched brands, but still fill the little tray as before.

I'll have to look at the water level next batch.

At first we noticed it on the plastic items, once we were aware of it, it's on everything.

It appears to drain properly.

Model # is KUDSO1ILBL1, taken from label inside door.

Thanks.

Check the water level and decrease the amount of detergent you are using and see if that works for you.

Look under your sink, where the drain hose hooks up to your disposal. When the hose leaves the disposaol, going towards the dishwasher, it should go up at least 9 to 12 inches before it goes down to the dishwasher. This will stop dirty water from the disposal going into your dishwasher. To clean disposal cut up a lemon, and through in there about 3 cups of ice and turn cold water on, and then turn disposal on.
