Samsung - 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless-Steel
Samsung 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher: Make cleanup a breeze with this Samsung dishwasher. A double filtration system, combined with 4 cycle options and a fan-assisted drying mechanism produces a pristine clean that is customizable and efficient.
Flimsy Front and Smells Bad
Customer Rating
3.0
We've had this dishwasher about 9 months. It seems to clean OK, but it ALWAYS has an odor. It drains fine and seems to clear the food, but the odor is very annoying. The stink, combined with the rinse agent, seems to coat the dishes and silverware. Nothing like having a bowl of milk and cereal and having it smell like dishwasher. I have to pour bleach into the dishwasher on a regular basis, just to mitigate the stink. The instructions address the smell by recommending another wash cycle, with the dish washer empty. So 2 washes for a single load of dishes? This is a joke. Why not just fix what's causing the stink in the first place.
I also found the unit to be very flimsy. The stainless panel on the front-side is very, very thin and dents or bends very easily. With the state of current product development, I doubt that there are any better options. But I, for one, am not too pleased... Better to just keep and fix your old stuff.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dead fish odor from my Samsung dishwasher
This dishwasher is about 2 years old. It has a dead fish odor. Sometimes ti has chunks of black things around the ring in the bottom This is not food. After every wash I have to Wipe around the seal and the bottom ring and get very black stuff of my rag. What is going on. If i keep a cup of vinegar in washer it helps with the odor. I have washed a load of no dishes. That helps for a few days. I have also washed an empty load with a cup of vinegar. That helps but it very wasteful of water. What is going on? It does a good job of wasing the dishes and is very quiet. Just this black goop and the dead fish odor!
Sam problem here, with a similar/same dishwasher. I use a bleach/water mixture to help mitigate the smell. Bit it's clearly a design issue, with something not being cleaned or purged.
The black is probably the decay of the black seal ring around the drain screen. Ours no longer lays flat. It is deteriorating and is very wavy. I don't expect this dishwasher to last very long, before it starts leaking.
