What Electrolux Says to Check First

- Dishwasher odor. Electrolux says to run a rinse-only cycle if the dishwasher won't be run soon and to make sure it is draining properly. Source: Electrolux - Why does my dishwasher have an odor and how do I fix it?

Cambridge Water Department, which supplies Cambridge, reports hardness of about 50-70 mg/L (roughly 3-4 grains per gallon; slightly hard). Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
