Does a dishwasher hygiene programme sterilise everything inside?

Do not assume that. Any claim is limited to the exact model, programme and conditions described by its manufacturer. Item suitability and separate care requirements still apply.

Understanding this situation

An ordinary household dishwasher is not a universal steriliser for medical equipment, feeding systems or contaminated objects. A high displayed temperature alone does not establish a particular professional standard.

A useful next step

Use the relevant product and professional guidance where a verified hygiene process is required. Keep unsupported items out of the appliance. Report a programme malfunction separately from the desired hygiene outcome rather than adding chemicals or repeating hotter cycles.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
