Cleaning the Dishwasher

Possible Solutions

Have you cleaned your dishwasher interior?

Clean the dishwasher interior with a sponge and warm water. Make sure to clean the bottom front of the tub where soils tend to accumulate. Wipe down all surfaces, including the door gaskets. You can also run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the dry option turned off (on some models). Do not use detergent. Using affresh®  cleaners will also help clean the dishwasher interior and help remove odors.

Cleans even where you can't see

affresh® cleans deep inside your appliances reaching components such as the tub, racks, pump, valves, drain, and recirculation hoses.

Cleaners are available at many retailers or can be purchased here.
