would start by removing the filters and giving them a good clean out. also clean out the spray arms. then get a good quality dishwasher cleaner and put it on an intensive wash. this should clear any smells.

if not check where the outlet hose drains to, this may need a good cleaning as build up of gunge can occur

make sure filter at the bottom of the unit is sparkling clean. dishwashers do not make miracles...clean excess food remains before putting your dishes in the unit. Use good soap. The 5 in 1 finish are usually very good

make sure you clean the sprayers out real good,if theres debris on the end nozzles they dont spin around too good,also pull out the little service plug that protects debris from getting in the impeller.
i found a little chunk of wood in there! im still not sure how wood ended up in the dishwasher!

I'm guessing from your post that your cutlery is the only thing in the dishwasher that is not getting clean, but rather with that nasty coating when you go to empty it. The reason for this phenomenon doesn't lie in a problem with the dishwasher, but rather a simple chemical and physical reaction between the dishwashing liquid (or powder or tablet), heat from the dishwasher's dryer, and the metal on that set of cutlery. The bleach from the dishwashing detergent will work very hard at getting your glasses, bowls, and everything glass and/or plastic clean and sparkling because it contains bleach in its ever-proprietary mixture of citrussy goodness. Unfortunately, metals and bleach, combined with heat are NOT a good combination! The best advice I can give you in this case (again, assuming that everything else in your dishwasher is looking fabulous and that your cutlery is the only thing that is not) is to wash your cutlery by hand with regular dish soap in the sink and do not put them in the dishwasher. Of course, it's easier to just stick all of that stuff in the dishwasher and not wash it by hand! It's why you bought a dishwasher in the first place, right? But if you want your cutlery (especially if it's GOOD cutlery) to look good and perform well, your best bet is to wash it the good ol' fashioned way...In the sink.

I hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need anything else that I can help with.

Hi I checked the manual on line. Here's what it said.

Dishwasher has an odor

Run dishes being held in the dishwasher through a Rinse Only cycle.
• Many dishwashers have a “new” smell when first installed. This will dissipate with use.
• Dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See “Dishwasher Will Not Drain” section.)
• For a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light
Wash cycle and allow the water to circulate for about 10 minutes. Interrupt the cycle
by unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by latching
the door and allow it to complete the cycle. Another alternative is to use a dishwasher
cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner*.

Good Luck
