Do you own a Bosch dishwasher? Does it drain properly?

I don’t have a solution, but share in your grief!

I have the same problem with my diswasher, made by Americana. I think it’s a cheapie brand the landlord installed. Nevertheless, I typically wouldn’t use it but I find when I don’t for some reason water collects in there and then that rotting flesh smell happens…

So for now the solution is to run it about once a week, and that seems to eliminate the water from collecting in there.

BTW, where are the drain and filter parts located that you mentioned cleaning?

I sure hope another flutherite can MacGyver this for us!!

Fluther to the rescue.
I like the Tang idea.
Commercial/restaurant dishwashers sometimes have a feature where they hold water to be used as the first rinse of the next cycle. At the end of service (end of the night) they have to be “drained” so that water doesn’t sit overnight. I’m not sure how commercial your washer is.

I sell commercial chemicals for commercial dish machines. It might not be the dish washer the is plugging up but rather the drain line to your sewer system. Check with Bosch but I would recommend rinsing some drain enzyme down that drain. Don’t use a product like Drano or any caustic or chlorine based products. Drain enzymes are harmless and work by digesting built up grease. It might take a few days to work but should be well worth it. You might find a citrus based enzyme and that will help with odor.
