I am an experience DIY plumber and this one has me stumped. Drain for dishwasher is tied in before the kitchen sinks P-trap (upstream) and when we open the dishwasher sewer stink comes out. All experts would say "you have the dishwasher drain after the trap and that's why you're getting the stink". This isn't the case! Also the trap isn't being siphoned dry by waterflow because there is no stink from the sink's drain! I clean all the mechanical filters and stuff in the dishwasher a couple times a year and we're good for a week or two then the stink is back. I can't believe a bit of residue in the dishwasher's pump could be creating this vile stink but maybe that's the first thing to hit. Anybody else heard of a dishwasher pump that doesn't evacuate the dishwasher 100% and leaves some gunge to fester? Thanks in advance
