PROBLEM 1: Dishwasher Has Odors

SOLUTION 1:

If your dishwasher has an odor, it's probably caused by a small amount of water left over from the last wash cycle. Also, if the dishwasher is not used on a regular basis, water can sit in the bottom of the dishwasher and cause an odor. Another possibility is dirty dishes that have been in the dishwasher for a long time; this can attract bacteria and cause odors.

To get rid of the smell, you will need to clean your Dishwasher. Please perform the following:

1. Make sure the dishwasher is empty with no dishes or other items inside.

2. Clean the interior of the dishwasher with warm-hot water to remove any residual detergent.

3. When cleaning the interior, pay special attention to the soap dispenser, door seal, and screen cover on the bottom.

4. run a the dishwasher empty with no detergent, place a glass upright in a secure location with 8 ounces of vinegar into the lower rack and then run a normal or high temperature (sanitize) cycle. 

5. Select the Sanitize cycle.

6. When the wash cycle has finished and the drying cycle is activated, shut off the dishwasher.

7. If your dishwasher doesn't have the Autorelease feature, open the door a crack, so the dishes can air dry. This is help eliminate odors.

*If you have tried all the suggestions listed above and there is still an odor, your dishwasher may be having a different issue. Please read our guide for Dishwasher Does Not Drain or Dishwasher Has Mode.
