“First off, I clean the filters about twice a week, but this bit of water that's left in the dishwasher after a cycle starts smelling stagnant after a few weeks. I sponge it out and it'll be ok for a while and then start smelling again. Does anyone know why this is happening? TIA…”
“So, this caught my attention. Do you think how many days this will last before dumping all the water and change into new clean water? Will it properly flush down all the dirt on the plates, glasses, etc? I think i wanna do this at my own home.”
“I’ve never encountered a dishwasher that does have a filter accessible on the bottom of the inside, but to be fair I’ve only lived in one place with a dishwasher before. I’m used to being able to pull out some kind of little trap or whatever and cleaning off all the food gunk…”

I’m not sure why it seems the detergent left residue all around, this is the first time I’ve seen that. I’ve tried cleaning the stubborn white stuff off the lines but it’s difficult to remove.
