Unpleasant smell coming from the dishwasher, especially when opening the door.

Safety: Turn off power before deep cleaning inside the sump.

• Clean filters thoroughly: Remove all filters and wash them with hot soapy water. Do this regularly.
• Clean sump and door seals: Wipe the sump area, door gasket, and corners with a cloth and a mild bleach solution or dishwasher cleaner.
• Run a hot cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the bottom rack and run the hottest program.
• Check drain hose routing: Ensure the drain hose has a proper high loop to prevent sink water from backflowing into the dishwasher.
