Smelly in Battle Ground
New Member
Hello:
We are the proud owners of a new Bosch SHX55R55UC/64. Something we have wanted for a long time, but sadly, it has not fixed one major issue we’ve had for a few years. Our dishes and glasses smell like wet musty dog. But first a little history.
We built our house 5 years ago at which time we installed an entire kitchen suite of KitchenAid appliances. Super disappointed! Everything but the microwave has had problems.
We first noticed the dish smell issue about 6 months into using the super fancy, super expensive, double drawer KitchenAid dishwasher. At first we thought it was the porcelain dishes, so we replaced them, then we thought it was because there was standing water in the dishwasher, so we manually sucked all the water out with a turkey baster after each and every wash. We have hard water so we bought a very expensive water softener. None of these steps repaired the issue so, we decide to bite the bullet and buy our dream dishwasher, the Bosch. We thought, “that will certainly fix the problem!†Sadly, it has not. I have scoured the internet and this seems to be a common problem, but I cannot find a solution. I thought I’d go to you, the experts….
We have had a plumber tell us that nothing is wrong with our piping. Frankly, we have tried everything.
We have tried:
various detergents.
leaving the door open after the cycle has completed.
tossing a lemon in the garbage disposal before washing.
pouring baking soda in the dishwasher basin.
And the best part about this is that it doesn’t always happen. Only sometimes…….
I am at my wits end! Help!
