A dishwasher smell may come from residue, retained water or the drain connection.
A dishwasher smell may come from residue, retained water or the drain connection. Repeated cleaning will not fix every cause.
Tell us when the smell is strongest and whether water remains after a cycle. Mention any slow or backed-up sink drain.
Use the model's cleaning procedure and approved products. Do not mix cleaners or reach into a pump or drain opening.
We check cleaning and drainage first. If the smell comes with poor draining or a leak, we investigate that fault before recommending more cleaning.
Mention whether standing water is visible and whether the smell also comes from the sink area. Include cleaning already performed under the manual and any recent plumbing work. Separate food residue inside the machine from a drain-related odour when describing the request.
Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
