Unpleasant smell from inside the dishwasher, especially when opening the door after some time.

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

• Clean filters and sump: Remove all filters and scrub them. Check the sump for trapped food and clean thoroughly.
• Run cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner and run the hottest program with the machine empty.
• Leave door ajar: After cycles, leave the door slightly open to allow ventilation and prevent stale odors.
• Check drain hose: If smells persist, inspect the drain hose and sink trap for grease buildup and clean or replace as needed.
