Odor Removal Tips

Discard spoiled food, remove shelves and wash removable parts according to the appliance guide. Wipe the interior and dry it.

Store strong-smelling foods in sealed containers. After cleaning, an open baking-soda container may help with residual smells.

Empty the bin, wash with detergent and water, scrub seams and rinse. Let it dry completely before replacing the liner.

For lingering odor, use a compatible deodorizing cleaner according to its label, and clean the lid separately.

Blot fresh liquid with clean towels, then use a carpet-compatible enzyme cleaner according to its instructions.

For repeated odors, inspect the carpet backing and underlay; professional treatment or replacement may be needed.

Remove items, check for dampness and clean shelving with a material-safe cleaner. Dry everything thoroughly.

Improve airflow and control humidity; wash or air out fabrics according to their care instructions before returning them.

Run the manufacturer’s cleaning cycle with the specified washer cleaner and clean accessible detergent compartments.

Wipe the door seal as directed, remove trapped debris and leave the door ajar between washes when safe.

Use an exhaust fan that vents outside when available, and wash greasy pans and food-contact surfaces after cooking.

Empty food scraps promptly and ventilate with outdoor air when weather and air quality allow.
