    Hi,

    I have a problem with a Bosch dishwasher that has started to smell. I first noticed this a few weeks ago after it had completed its wash cycle. As soon as you open the door at the end of the cycle there is an unpleasant smell. I have checked and cleaned the filters, run all sorts of cleaners through it and they only fix the problem for a few washes. The only other thing I have noticed is that there is always about 1″ of water left in the filter recess after a cycle. Is this normal?

    Regards

    What detergent are you using?

    Check along the bottom of the door for any dirt/grime there and if required give it a clean.

    You can also try Finish dishwasher cleaner, works wonders. 😉

    There is usually some water left in the bottom of the machines but I am not familiar with that model so I don’t know how much you should see there, Martin or Penguin may be able to answer that one.

    That amount of water left sounds about right.

    Does your drain hose go into a fitting on the side of the sink outlet ? as sometimes you can get a smell back through that ,Failing that a run through with a dishwasher cleaner should shift any nasties from inside
