Unpleasant odour coming from the dishwasher, especially when opened after being idle.

Safety first: Turn off power before deep cleaning inside the tub.

• Clean filters and sump: Remove all filters and clean thoroughly. Check the sump for trapped food and clean it.
• Clean door seals: Wipe the door gasket and around the door edges with warm soapy water.
• Run hot cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and run the hottest program.
• Improve ventilation: After cycles, leave the door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape.
• Check drain hose: Ensure the drain hose is installed with a high loop to prevent backflow from the sink.
