Franke Sink Seal

[canalsiderenovation]

This is our kitchen sink and we had a real smell. Took out the thingy thing highlighted on the pic by unscrewing it and 🤢

 

Cleaned it all out but the silicone seals are not great on the metal thingy thing and although it is sealed and not leaking I could probably do with replacing the complete bit but I have no idea what model of Franke sink it is. Can anyone help me get the replacement bit or identify what it is called so I can buy one please. (It doesn't look great on the pic as it is difficult to get back in as the seals are that damaged and disintegrated although it isn't actually leaking underneath - yet)!

I'm actually now thinking it isn't a seal it is actually clear silicone underneath it as it doesn't all look the same shape!

If there is a smell it is more likely the pipework letting gasses in.  An open end on a washing machine connector or something connected the wrong side of the sink trap?

Nope it was definitely the gunk, it was vile. Absolutely disgusting and never unscrewed that thing before. Smell has gone now but keen to replace seal and re silicone.
