Hey, maybe it's NOT your personal funk, then.

It could be a dead mouse.

Not to incite fear, or anything, but we had a nasty smell coming from under our dishwasher. We kept hoping whatever it was would dry up and quit smelling, but it didn't.

Around one year later, in exasperation, I tore the dishwasher out just to get rid of the thing. It was a dead mouse.

In your case, perhaps you could go after whatever is under there with a garden trowel or other implement? Or this might be a good time to plead with someone else in the household to do it!

I don't think it's a mouse. I had the regrettable experience of having a dead mouse in my office one time and that sickly-sweet odor is unmistakeable.

It's possible that I've rid us of the 'Orrible Odor with yesterdays' cleaning frenzy. I'm not sure if I'm actually smelling it today or if it's psychosomatic.

(P.S. There is no "under" to the dishwasher. I mean yes, of course there's an "under" but the unit itself appears to sit pretty much flush against the floor. I wouldn't care to yank it out, not knowing how much slack is in the water and power cables behind it. If I haven't actually eliminated The Big Stink, I'll have to get maintenance to come in and shift it so I can look behind it. My household consists of me and a roommate with a bad back so Manly Assistance is going to be necessary.)
