I have a new Bosch dishwasher. (Model SHE5AL06UC)
Purchased and installed in 12/2009.
My wife and I have been noticing a really strong stagnant odor coming from the dishwasher in between cycles.
I checked the filter, it was clean. No large food particles or buildup.
We are typically pre-rinsers, so there shouldn't be much food or other causing the odor.
I installed the dishwasher myself....so the next place I figured I check was the drain line.
I pulled out the dishwasher and reconfigured the drain line.
Attached is a picture of how I reconfigured the drain line. Does that look ok? I put a little hook near the top of the cabinet and ran the line through that so that the hose wouldn't fall down. Look ok?
Also, should there be water left over in the bottom of the washer? Or should that little sump area drain completely when the cycle is complete? That seemed to be the area where the odor was coming from.......
Thanks.
