Need Help Removing Sink Overflow

[yfs1]

I need to remove (well either replace or clean extra well) my sink overflow as it stinks most of the time. Can anyone advise how to remove it from the sink body.

I am obviously able to remove the drain end quite easily but can't figure out how its attached to the sink.

I am also working with tight clearances as the dishwasher is the thing to the right.

The image isn't attached - instead there's just an advert.

Sorry about that...The server I put the picture on must have blocked it. Hopefully it is fixed and you see it now.

Yup - I can see it now.

It all looks reeeeasonably recent though - I'm surprised that it's smelly.

Amyway, you remove the overflow from the sink by undoing a small screw that clamps it on - put the plub in the sink first.

If you want to remove it from the trap by unscrewing the white plastic ring - be careful not to lose or damage the rubber sealing ring.

It is less then a year. I am trying to narrow down where the smell is coming from though. The trap is spotless so it isn't the drain (in fact the drain smells fine while the overflow can stink). The only other possible culprit is the also nearly new dishwasher hose. I have used dishwasher cleaner to try to address that side of it.

I suspect (and of course am probably wrong) that if it was the dishwasher drain tube (thats the slightly grey one) that I would also smell the sinkiness from the drain, not just the overflow.

I`d leave overflow as is and sqiurt bleach down it and get a dishwasher cleaner asap

Also, you should get a Jubillee clip onto that diswasher hose before the day that it loses its restitution and slides off...
