• White vinegar
• Baking soda
• Bleach (optional)
• A cleaning cloth or sponge
• A filter cleaning brush (if applicable)

Before cleaning the mold, remove any large debris from the dishwasher drain. Check the filter and drain trap for any blockages and clean them out. This will help improve water flow and make the cleaning process more effective.

Run a hot water cycle through your dishwasher to help loosen any debris and mold. You can add a cleaning agent like baking soda or white vinegar to the cycle to help break down any tough stains.

Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the dishwasher's detergent dispenser. Run a hot water cycle to allow the vinegar to flow through the drain and help break down any mold and debris.

Use a cleaning cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the dishwasher, paying attention to any areas with visible mold or debris. Make sure to clean the drain trap and filter as well.

If you have a severe mold problem, you can use bleach to help kill the mold. However, be cautious when using bleach, as it can damage some dishwasher parts. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and take necessary safety precautions.

Check your dishwasher's filter and clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions. A clean filter can help prevent debris and mold from accumulating in the drain.

Run a final hot water cycle to rinse the dishwasher and drain. This will help remove any remaining debris and cleaning agents.
