Dishwasher Odor? Eliminate the Source in 4 Steps

Stop the musty dishwasher smell with four fast steps—filter, spray arms, drain, and a hot clean cycle.

Clear the Filter & Drain Area

Food sludge builds up under the filter cup—remove and rinse.

Open Spray Arm Jets

Poked-clean jets restore pressure and rinse power.

Run a Hot Cleaning Cycle

Use a cleaner or white vinegar, then a short cycle with baking soda.

Dry It Out

Leave the door cracked after cycles to prevent musty air.
