Your dishwasher cleans your dishes — but it can't clean itself. Grease, limescale, and food particles build up over time, causing smells, poor performance, and premature wear.
Why this happens
Grease from dishes coats the walls, heating element, and pipes over time
Limescale deposits reduce water heating efficiency
Food residue in the filter and spray arms causes odours
Short or eco cycles don't reach temperatures high enough to self-clean
How to fix it
1
Run a dedicated cleaner cycle once a month — use a dishwasher cleaner tablet or powder.
2
Clean the filter weekly: pull it out, rinse under warm water, scrub gently.
3
Check and clear the spray arm holes every few months.
4
Run an empty hot cycle (60°C+) if you notice smells between cleaner cycles.
