If something was stuck in the drain hose then the dishwasher wouldn’t drain.

We’ve had two plumbers out and they both said the same thing.

We’ve pulled out the dishwasher and looked all over. But one thing we noticed when we did that is our dishwasher has an awful lot of small areas that hold water.

I called the home service the maker said would be coming out and she said “they don’t fix that kind of thing. Better to call Bosch back.” So I did and they hooked me up with a company that only comes out to TV on Thursday. I have an appointment on the 30th.

Have you taken some paper towels and wiped the underside of the rubber thingy at the top? Gross, but needs to be done.
A tip I learned from a friend...When I make something in my blender, I clean it by rinsing it out and blending a squirt of Dawn and water. I start the disposal and pour all that down at once.

We have an 800 series Bosch(one of their best) also. Also had a smell. Does require a very thorough cleaning of the gray colored filter every couple of months. It does get very nasty

We’ve had a plumber to install a new sink and she checked all the pipes. I asked her specifically about the problem and she just shook her shoulders.

The dishwasher was brand new in August of 2024 and it’s been smelling since then. I bought a bottle of dishwasher cleaner and that didn’t help. I mean this smell is so bad it’ll make you sick!



Today I called the company that made it and she said they would have someone contact me.

In the meantime, I thought I would put it out to all of you - do you know anything that might help?

Lots of good suggestion on the thread about cleaning the strainer on the DW. I had a similar experience when I changed my bathroom sinks. Not sure why changing the sink made the problem appear, but it did. When I ran the water in the sink, I got an awful sewer type smell. Called a friend of mine who was once a plumber, and then became an engineer. He told me it was biofilm in the drain pipe. I removed the p trap and other plastic drain pipe from the sink to the wall, and indeed there was biofilm attached to the inside wall of the pipes. I could smell the odor coming from the removed biofilm, and was confident that was the source. Biofilm is very stick stuff. I had to run a rag thru the piping to remove the biofilm. There are chemical biofilm removers, not sure how effective they would be. You really need physical (not chemical) removal of the biofilm. Put the drain pipes together and the smell was gone. If you can't do it yourself, I highly recommend that you have a plumber do it. It's not that difficult of a job, the drain pipes just screw together, no soldering required.
