Hi buddy. I started noticing smells coming from my dishwasher two weeks ago. Since I had to find a remedy immediately, I researched how do you clean a smelly dishwasher. I came across a YouTube video where I found that it can be easily cleaned with common household items like white vinegar and dish soap. Let me share the entire process below.

How to Get Smell Out of Dishwasher?

Dishwasher odour can cause the appliance to operate less efficiently and result in plates that are not well cleaned, in addition to being an annoyance. The following troubleshooting tips I followed to clean my dishwasher:

  • To make it easier to access the inside of my dishwasher, I started by emptying it of all the leftover dishes, glasses, and utensils.

  • I then took out the lower dish rack and the dishwasher filter. 

  • I then cleaned the filter by immersing it in warm, soapy water after emptying it of any debris.

  • I used a soft-bristled brush to gently scrape the filter in order to remove any stuck-on particles.

  • After that, I put my dishwasher's newly cleaned filter back in.

  • Next, I filled a dishwasher-safe basin with two cups of white vinegar and set the bowl on the lowest rack of my unfilled dishwasher.

  • I then hit the start on a dishwasher cycle that included an air-dry option.

  • Finally, I cleaned the gasket seals of any debris using a sponge and warm, soapy water, and I dried them with a fresh towel.

It took me quite a long time to completely remove the dishwasher's odour. It would be best if you could avail a professional cleaning service. I hope you get an idea of how to remove odor from dishwasher.
