Bosch Dishwasher odor

Apr 21, 2009

-   There is nothing that can be done about the smell. It smells that way because the Bosch and Siemens dishwasher don't drain completely. Since thier dishwashers dont vent out like normal dishwashers the water settles to the bottom. There will always be about 2 cups of water left sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher after every wash. That is why it smells. -   Guest

-   We also have bought a Bosch Dishwasher, have had it installled in July.
It also has this terrible odor. I have tried putting baking soda and even
Vingar in the bottom while it is not in use.

-   I have a Bosch dishwasher and it has been smelling like eggs off and on for the passed few months. I have to take out filter clean it and rewash dishes. Sometimes I pour white vinegar in the tub with the second wash. I really hate this machine. My Maytag was louder however I never had these problems! -   dntlikebosch
