u/Key-Lengthiness-859

Made the mistake splurging on an expensive appliance hoping for it to last and be worth fixing when it broke someday. Unfortunately, 1.5 years in and the thing is broke. I keep ending up with dirty water in the bottom slowly coming into it. Will be fine for a few days and then all of a sudden, stinky water in the bottom. (Bosch 800 Series)

The unit seems to work fine and after a cycle it is perfectly fine and crystal clean on the bottom....no standing water. Maybe even good for a few days. But eventually I notice water collecting at the bottom.

I am perplexed why. I do believe it to be a machine issue, but not sure if there is an easy troubleshooting or just take the L and call repair.
