Put it on again with nothing in it except the dishwater tablet.

Hopefully it'll clear itsself.

Or fill it up with something even more strong smelling. Like dirty plates from a curry.

Break a window.
Then she won't notice the smell because she will be going ape over the glass.

If it has a sump with any liquid in, drain it down or get the water out somehow - even if it means dipping a cloth into it and squuezing the water out into a bucket.

Then a long hot wash with detergent to break down and emulsify and remaining turps, and open the door as soon as possible afterwards so that the steam coming out will also let all of the turps steam/evaporate out and not condense inside the machine.

Then do something involving turps in the kitchen, so the smell of turps can be attributed to whatever you are doing and not the machine.

If this fails, you end up buying her a dishwasher and you have the old one to use as a parts washer in the garage. Double win.

Blame it on someone else?

Cup of white vinegar in there, run on hottest cycle?

Or sprinkle some baking soda in and run it on the hottest cycle?

Not at the same time though...

Use the vinegar method myself once a month or so to get rid of the smellyness but not sure how well it'd work on turps.

[chris-red]

Silly point won't it stink of vinigar then?

You can get deodorant or odour neutraliser fluids, pop to the supermarket and grab one of those and see what that does. Apparently they're quite good.

[Hetzer]

Squirt a complete bottle of washing-up liquid into it. And a box of washing powder.

Baking soda in the powder draw, then put a bowl full of vinegar into it. That'll clean it out a treat.

I need more Lemon Pledge.

Put a capful of white wine vinegar in the bottom of the dishwasher and set it to rinse cycle.

What did you put in there?

All plates and stuff that are washed in it now will smell of turps, and any food served from those plates will smell and taste of turps. You are going to be so busted.

As you're already going to be in a world of pain why don't you pull the dishwasher out, fit a turbo and go spank it up the motorway?

The turps won't light by itself but that's a good idea Shaggy. Put some gasoline in it to get a burn going, that'll also burn off the turps and all the horrid smells will be gone. Take all the plastics out first of course, only a dumbarse would leave those in.

take off the u bend and clean it out, running the tap wont suffice as the turps wil sit on top of the water

I'd go:

Clean U-bend.
Take everything possible out of the dishwasher.
Squirt and rub a whole bottle of fairy liquid (get the good stuff, your life depends on it) all around the dishwasher and into its drain.
Cold rinse.
Ventilation: blow a fan into it and open the doors and windows.
Shut a cat in it for a few hours - cat pee masks anything.

After cleaning, by whatever method, buy some BBQ charcoal, place some in a bowl and leave the bowl in the DW whenever it's not in use!
