Solution
If your dishwasher was just installed, it is normal for there to be “new” smell at first. This goes away over time and usage. Leaving soiled dishes in the dishwasher too long can create an odor.
If you are not ready to run a full cycle, use a rinse only cycle to help with any odors. Check to ensure your dishwasher is properly draining.
For additional help, refer to your Owner’s Manual.
