my bosch dishwasher smells like fish, especially after we have had a fish dinner! i have tried everything... the drain hose is not kinked; the filters are clean. I have used vinegar... it just takes time to dissipate (maybe 2 or three days)
First, make sure the machine is properly installed with the drain hose up in a loop or an air gap before going down to the drain. This is to ensure no dirty water or smells from the sour or garbage disposer backs up into the machine.
Sometimes nasty stuff gets trapped inside internal parts of the machine and inside the sprayer arms. It is normally easy to remove the sprayer arms for cleaning, on reasonably modern Bosch machines they can also be opened up for easy access.
There are also special dishwasher cleaning agents that you can use to perform periodic cleaning cycles. Some believe it is important to use rinse agents to minimize the problem, maybe it is worth trying if you don't use it.
If there is warranty left on the machine I would advise you to complain, there is a slight possibility there is something wrong in the machine for instance bad choice of insulation lining that have been known to emit foul smells.

Hoover HEDS 668 dishwasher all four lights flash and beep whilst the machine drains, after a couple of minutes the beeping stops but the four lights glow. Cannot reset to cancel. Also still makes draining noise whilst the door is opened. There is no water at the bottom of the machine.
