I checked the filter/trap, and it was pretty clean & didn't smell, but I cleaned it anyway. I think 'stuff' just builds up on the sides, top and bottom of the dw. After I ran the Tang through one cycle, it smells like citrus! Wonderful hint! Thanks so much for reminding me about Tang! My DW mfr(Fischer-Packel)says I don't have to rinse, just scrape off the big stuff; and it REALLY does work. This is the first time in the 4 years I've owned it that it has developed a smell.
