Sharp Biofilm / Food Residue Build-Up

Dishwasher has a bad odor even after completing a cycle.

Possible Causes

Dirty filters, Grease buildup in sump and hoses, Standing water in low spots of drain hose, Infrequent high-temperature cycles

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

Clean filters thoroughly: Remove and scrub the Sharp filter set with hot soapy water.
Clean sump and door seals: Wipe the sump area, door gasket, and around the door edges with a mild cleaner.
Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar placed on the top rack.
Improve drainage: Ensure the drain hose has a proper high loop and no sags where water can stagnate.
