Ask your supplier to have a look and check it out.

Yes we did, I'm not entirely sure they took it too seriously but they sent an engineer and he flushed the pipes, which gave us brown water for some time after but the issue persists

The water itself doesn't smell, it seems to be after its been heated up and its either dried or drying

 

If you haven't already, first confirm that the drain hose is installed properly (I've attached video for you to check). The hose has to go up to the bottom of the counter-top and then down before it connects to the drain under the sink. This "high loop" is required unless you happen to have an air gap where the drain is connected.

Also, do you wash with hot water? If your wash water is cold, or not sufficiently hot, that can also contribute to residuals that will result in odors.

And my advice is to run an empty cycle with either a cup of white vinegar or some baking soda (it works well for our Whynter). But don't use the bleach - it might damage your dishwasher. Here are some tips about cleaning the insides.  

 

Also, what's the brand? My wife and I experienced this in our first rental after college. Landlord had just installed a new Bosch dishwasher the week before we moved in and we were the first to use it. Worked great for the first week or two: super quiet, efficient, cleaned well. But then we began to notice a putrid, rotting fish-like odor in the dishwasher and on the dishes. Worse yet, the odor would stay on dishes until you washed them again. Our resolution was to rinse everything before loading them in the dishwasher, thoroughly clean the filter every time we ran a load, and remove the dishes as soon as the cycle was complete (largely required some level of hand drying). And then I found that there was a design flaw in this model (can't recall the name, but it was in 2012), so the stinky stuff stucks and rots inside the dishwasher. But if you used two different models, that couldn't be the reason.

 

The smell is also on drying/dried clothes, I hadn't noticed it when I posted the above message - it seems to be something in the water and is not a drain smell, its essentially like the concentrated loch water smell

We replaced the dishwasher as every few washes the dishes came out smelling fishy, new dishwasher is also doing the same thing.

Google search suggests other people get this issue, but no solution.

Was wondering if other folk in shetland came across this, perhaps something in the water?

The smell sometimes gets worse after the dishes have been put away, it sort of develops.

The plates can be washed a second time and come out smelling fine, there is no rhyme or reason to it

The dishwasher itself has no smell at all.

Its not complete yet, looking like midnight tonight

I don’t know how they keep selling them, the skin is so thick its disgusting, never seems to crisp up either, I wonder what its made from?

Coop do nice ones one with an award label on, cumberland i think, sadly the really good pork and leek ones never come in anymore

Needing someone who knows chimneys to look at our cracked blockwork chimney and look at replacement options, perhaps like for like or stainless pipe

Any suggestions?

If they (SIC) really want to spend money on cyclists, why not put in some cycle tunnels between different places? 

Lerwick to Bressay?

 

That's interesting - thanks for the link.

 

When I put in my postcode, I received this information:

 

 

 

 

 

Based on this information, does that mean our broadband is the very basic?  How do I find out if they are going to upgrade our broadband.  Sometimes snails are faster.  Ours is fairly awful.

 

The Walls exchange was upgraded to FTTC some time ago(its next to the Walls hall).

You are too far from it though to get the speed

Could the expiry on adverts be altered please?

Im referring to the amount of times an ad can be relisted, its very annoying when it expires and you cant relist it or read the old advert to paste it into a new one.

Noticed the sauce bottles are back on the tables at Monterey Jacks new owners or are the reopening soon ????

Did they ever remove them?

They were there a few weeks ago

Seems he got here:

i would be very careful with Tavish he is one of the Shetland  higher echelons and may even be a member of a secret society which seems to be the required pass on the C V to work for the S I C ...apt name 

In our own dealings with Tavish, I have only praise in the way he took time out on several occasions to support our initial planning application and subsequent successful appeal.

Thanks for that, i did come across her name, but found no mention of it on her FB profile, but ill drop her a message

Is there anyone in Lerwick that does clothing repairs? Sewing etc

 

Does anybody the know the official status of those wavy patterns? I'd hoped for a clear explanation when a council official was interviewed on Radio Shetland but it seemed far from clear. He did say when asked if foreign visitors would understand them, that they are common abroad and that a foreign visitor would expect traffic to stop for them. Given that they are nowhere in the highway code and so seem not to be an official crossing point, that seems a recipe for disaster. As far as I can see you do not have to give way to pedestrians.

 

According to the Highway Code, if a pedestrian has started to cross, they have right of way.

Well judging by Volvo's announcement that they are planning to be purely hybrid/electric by 2019, Crashbox may well be right.

a hybrid, isn't a pure electric vehicle

Just a question - many posters above (^) refer to a 20mph speed limit. Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I'm aware the speed limit through the "calmed" section, remains at 30mph?.....

 

Has 20 in circles on the tarmac on entry to the zone

 

 

In the next 10 years the majority of new cars sold will be pure electric,

 

The majority....really!?

got ours from highland fuels in lerwick

of bigger concern...is it real vinegar or non-brewed condiment...

Well Happy New Year to everyone,but could not help thinking about the lack of calendars as I pinned my Shetland Times one up .

 

Years ago every firm would have there own calendar,grocer shops ,butchers, engineering firms ect,  but nowadays that would appear to me to be another thing in the past .

You will be pleased to know, as a user of paper calendars, that you can still send a telegram...

Been discussed before, points still valid, still a concern over possibility of children getting stuck in the tunnel of goats

Yes, they have set a closing date but I think they have to do that

Thats not my understanding or experience.  If a seller wants to close immediately upon accepting an offer, they can.

Its a foolish seller that sells using such a system (assuming its not something sellers are legally obliged to abide by), they're not maximising their chances of getting top dollar in a bidding war. Its a poison chalice for buyers, as while it does offer the possibility of whoever eventually does get it, getting a bargain, as you say it also leaves them playing darts in the dark making offers.

Not sure I'd agree entirely, what I think happens is a buyer finds their ideal house and feels pressured into bidding as much as they can, not necessarily what they think its worth or would have offered as the first bid on a 'normal' offer system.  Simply because they have no second chance to increase should another buyer offer more, they offer above and beyond the valuation.

I cant say I blame the sellers, it's an accepted process and IMO gets them a price a good percentage above the valuation, but what comes around goes around, as they are also probably then looking to buy where they then also pay too much.

Process should be outlawed IMO, along with offers through a solicitor (some at a cost per offer) - whats wrong with viewing house, speak with seller, suggest a price, seller says yes or no, once agreed then you submit a formal offer via a solicitor.
