A bad smelling dishwasher is a common problem and can be fixed easily. The list below details the most common causes of the issue to resolve the problem.
We recommend that you carry out a maintenance wash every 4-6 months depending on how often you use your appliance. A maintenance wash will help your appliance function effectively and odour-free. If not properly maintained, odours can build up in your appliance, especially around the areas which are made of plastic.

Be sure to check that your dishwasher filter isn’t blocked. This can often be the reason why the appliance starts to develop unpleasant odours, as food may be stuck inside the appliance and waste water will not be pumped out effectively. This will lead to ineffective wash cycles and an unpleasant smell inside the machine.
