Unpleasant odor in the Dishwasher - Filter, dirty dishes, or new machine scent

What does Odor in Machine mean?

A peculiar odor in the Dishwasher can be normal for a new machine and will fade. However, persistent odors usually indicate clogged filters or dirty dishes left inside for too long, leading to residue buildup.

• New machine odor (will fade).
• Clogged filters.
• Dirty dishes left in the Dishwasher for 2-3 days.

1. 1

   Clean the filter system regularly as illustrated in the "Cleaning and Care" section (Section 10.3).

2. 2

   If not running the machine immediately, remove food remnants from dishes and run a prewash program without detergent every 2 days.

3. 3

   Leave the Dishwasher door slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent odor buildup if not running a cycle.

4. 4

   Consider using commercially available odor removers or machine cleaners if the smell persists.
