Dishwasher has a bad smell even after a completed cycle.

Safety first: No electrical work is required for cleaning; unplug only if removing panels.

• 1. Clean filters and sump: Remove all filters and scrub them with hot soapy water. Wipe out the sump and door seals.
• 2. Clean spray arms: Remove spray arms and rinse thoroughly. Clear any trapped food particles.
• 3. Check drain hose: Ensure the hose has a proper high loop to prevent backflow from the sink. Clean the sink trap connection.
• 4. Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar placed upright in the top rack.
• 5. Use hotter programs: Periodically run an intensive program to reduce grease and bacteria buildup.
