If you have a swampy smell, there is some sort of decaying matter causing
it. I do not know about Bosch, but in my Kenmore there is a coarse grate
above the macerator, a slight finer grate next to the macerator blade , and
a fine screen to filter recirculated water. All of these can trap chunks of
food, especially fibrous stuff. I have to take it apart and clean them now
and then.

I did look - they were all clean, mostly because I pre-rinse the heavy
stuff right into the disposal.

A friend of mine works in appliance repair and he sees this all the
time. People are taught by the advertisements that they don't need to
rinse their plates. This is false advertisement and he's surprised
that the FCC hasn't gone after them for it. He also stated that the
Bosch is one of the few he would never consider owning. He repairs far
too many of them and hears far too many complaints. It surprised me.

I use my dishwasher as a dish dryer. It's unplugged and the plumbing
is plugged. Hand washing takes a total of 40 minutes a week, so I'm
not losing anything.
