Sewer Smell In new Karsten DW

Post by Golden Valley Ray » Tue Jul 18, 2006 12:31 pm

We have recently moved into a new Karsten DW. When we run a load of laundry the sewer smell is overpowering. The dealer has been out twice and replaced sewer vents under the sinks but it has not helped.
Has anyone else had this problem or can you help me end the smell

Your dealer has worked on the most likely culprits...My daughter moved out on her own in Jan and in July overpowering sewer smell was in the bath she used to have....My guess was that all the water had evaporated out of the traps...I treated them twice with bleach and ran the water in the sinks and shower until I was sure the S-traps were full and clean...Problem gone...
