Opening the door of dishwasher to take out the crockery everything was dry but there was a rubbery smell , as if something had burnt ,nothing in manual about this and was worried about the thermostat

Probably main electrical connection at terminal box shorted.

Be grateful it didn't burn the house down.
Replace it.
Cost of parts will outweigh cost of replacement.

Check whether the smell comes from the main drain. Pull your dish washer drain hose and check.

Leave dishwasher door open for few hours. Hope no rate has died inside the machine.

Run a empty wash several times!

There could be dust settled on the motor inside from the few years in storage. Unplug and remove back, with a hoover brush **** off all dust but do this lightly as to not disturb any connections.

oh no. get the crow bar and save ur crock pot!

Sounds like the dishwasher is not getting enough water during it's fill cycle due to low water pressure on supply line or the dishwasher pump is not working correctly. Could be obstructed with food matter, etc.Hope this helps

remove the water and, the burnt plastic that probanly melted on the dish drying heater coil
close and, lock the door turn the dishwasher back on and, reset the circuit breaker to see if the motor will run or, is damaged

I,do not have solution for this problem. I,need solution

first hting do you use a rinse agent( jet dry ?) perhaps s you're not selecting heated dry as an option.as far as the smell if its musty form water left behind,using jet dry will evaporate more of the water (a small amount on a paper towel and wipe down the inner door and walls will also decrease moisture, doenst to be done every time either on ly as needed might be once a year. if the smell is anything else id look into perhaps hoked to a garbage disposer?? smells permeate back into d/w.
