Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

The most common reason for a smelly dishwasher is a dirty dishwasher filter. The filter is responsible for catching food while your machine is running to prevent clogs. Over time, that filter gets more and more filled with food particles. Cleaning your dishwasher filter monthly can keep the smell at bay.

Dishwashers should be cleaned a minimum of once every 3 months, but really it should be done monthly. This is to prevent germ buildup and will help keep your machine running smoothly. Dishwasher maintenance isn’t too difficult, you’ll simply clean the filter, wipe down the spray arms with vinegar or rubbing alcohol, and run the cycle on empty. If there is any debris, you can remove it with a small metal pick. Do not use wood as the tip can break off inside the machine.

Some common signs you have a dirty dishwasher filter are:

  • Food sticking to your dishes even after a thorough wash cycle

  • Odor coming from your dishwasher

  • Stains left on dishes and utensils

  • Water pooling in your dishwasher

  • Food stuck to parts of the dishwasher, like the racks, walls, or sprayer arm

A clogged air gap can cause a dishwasher not to drain. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters. 

To extend the lifespan, clean filters regularly, run cleaning cycles with vinegar, avoid overloading, and check for leaks.
