Mine gets a smell sometimes too. Next time you run it add a cup of bleach when the main wash starts.

409 cleaning, followed by Fabreeze spray. Let it dry normally overnight.

Pour two cups of vinegar into the dishwasher and let it sit for an hour and then let the dishwasher run through a cycle with the hottest water possible. Repeat the process if that does not help. You can use baking soda instead of vinegar – just sprinkle it in the bottom of the dishwasher. It may be coming from the plumbing pipes your dishwasher shares with the sink. Pour a half a cup of baking soda down each sink drain. Pour cups of vinegar down each drain until all the baking soda is washed away. After 5 minutes, run very, very hot water down each of the drains. Empty out all the dishes out of your dishwasher. Remove the bottom rack and remove any food or gunk that may be stuck there. Stir ¼ cup liquid dish soap and ¼ cup bleach into a quart of water. Use the solution and a small brush, or even an old toothbrush, to scrub between the grooves of the rubber seal and any other crevices. Swing open the door of your dishwasher to reach the bottom of the door, on the inside. Brush away any gunk that may have accumulated there, particularly around the hinges.
