Bad odor coming from the dishwasher, even when not in use.

Safety first: Turn off power before removing internal parts.

• Clean filters and sump: Remove the filter assembly and scrub with hot soapy water. Clean the sump area of any trapped food.
• Clean door gasket: Wipe the door gasket and around the door edges with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
• Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack.
• Leave door ajar: After cycles, leave the door slightly open to allow the interior to dry and reduce odor buildup.
