Still no luck we have just about singled everything out apart from the water. our water company have taken samples away but say that they are all normal. we have had an independant water test done awaiting the results of that. Another person different forum exactly the same problem as us...

thanks CM1 our friend doesn't have a smelly dishwasher, i think i will get someone to check our tap to see if it has a n/r valve on it, it just seems to be too much of a coincidence that when i have turned the tap off to the outside tap the smells disappear!!! JD we have a cold fill tank in the...

We have been in this house since new so no previous owners!! all i can see between where the water comes in and the garden tap is an isolating valve. I know some taps can be non return, how can you tell? A friend of ours who lives on the estate seems to have an isolating valve that is some 1...

Well its been quite a few days now and..... still no smell :D . I see from reading online that all outside taps with a hosepipe fitted to it are required to have a non return valve fitted to them to stop 'contaminated' water being siphoned back into the mains. Seeing as we have no problems now...

That i'm not sure about, this is a new built home and the power shower was already in when we moved. i will try to find out, could that cause problems? By the way JohnD thanks for your help so far its much appreciated.

I'm sure that it does not have a non return valve on it as it has the same as the dishwasher and washing machine which either allows it to be turned on or isolated (turned off) using a screwdriver. we have a power shower located on the second floor but thats all!!! We have disconnected hose...

Ok guys an update to where we are now. We think we have linked the problems to a smell in the water from the cold tap which in turn is exaggerated by the dishwasher drying cycle (as this is cold fill). Dishwasher was stripped down and cleaned, waste pipes (that i could dismantle) removed cleaned...

Right...........Had dishwasher apart again, had another look at all the water inlet pipes on left hand side. Water from external source goes into what can only be described as a plastic box on upper left hand external wall, this in turn goes via a rubber hose into the dishwasher salt container...

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!! Tried what was suggested took the thing to bits, pulled off said hose, clean as a whistle!!! While it was apart physically checked everything that was within arms reach......nothing!! So now sitting here yet again scratching my head :cry: ! Just about tried everything now...

CM1 thanks for the idea, can you clarify exactly where the panel you refer to is, just so i can be sure when i start to look at it. JohnD, all filters clean, spinning arms have been steam cleaned. Will ask the Mrs about the seal at bottom of door but think she has checked all that???

Yea has trap check picture out. Any ideas????

Image of pipe work under sink dishwasher outlet from right hand side, does this look right? We have tried everything, changed the water feed leads, checked the waste outlet pipes, used every dishwasher cleaner known to man (including bleach), Checked all the tanks in the loft, used every sink...
