Smelly Dishwasher? Deep-Clean It in 20 Minutes

A bad smell is trapped food and grease. A simple filter clean and vinegar cycle clears it.

Odours come from debris caught in the filter and grease film on the tub. Here is the reset routine.

Clean the Filter and Sump

Rotting food in the filter is the number-one source of smell.

Fix: Remove the filter, scrub it, and wipe out the sump area.

Run a Vinegar Cycle

Grease and mineral film coat the tub and hoses over time.

Fix: Place a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and run a hot cycle.

Wipe the Door and Gasket

Gunk hides in the door edges and seal folds.

Fix: Wipe these down monthly with a damp cloth.
