There is a product you put in the detergent tray and then run a cycle. Also, have you emptied, cleaned and washed the trap on the bottom floor of the dishwasher?
Is it a new plasticky smell,or a bad,rotten food, something funky kind of smell?
Can you describe the small? Is it like sewer gas, new machine smell, food caught in the strainer? If you let it dry out before closing the door does that help?
empty the dishwasher and pour 1/2 cup bleach in the bottom. Run the cycle as usual. When finished clean around the seal of the door with soap and water.
