Unpleasant smell coming from the dishwasher, even when not in use.

Safety first: Turn off power before deep cleaning internal areas.

• Clean filters and sump: Remove all filters and scrub with hot soapy water. Wipe around the sump area to remove slime and food particles.
• Run a hot cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and run the hottest program.
• Check drain hose: Ensure the hose has no low spots where water can stagnate. Adjust routing if necessary.
• Leave door ajar: After use, leave the door slightly open to allow the interior to dry and prevent odours.
