Grinding The situation: I have had my Whirlpool DU915PWPB1 for 2 1/2 years, it isn't the greatest dishwasher but does the job good enough. Recently, the water will fill, the washing cycle will run but then when that part stops it goes into a whirring that seems like a motor is going but nothing is moving. I have removed the Filter Modual in an attempt to find out what the grinding would be. There doesn't seem to have anything in the way or under the filter. I have ascertained that the grinding is coming from the "chopper kit" rubbing up against the "Perforated Plate". It is not going in a different place I am wondering why, if it's in the correct spot, is it grinding up againse the plate. I have moved nothing.

My Whirlpool dishwasher G2PDW1 aborts its wash cycle and beeps to indicate a fault. The start button light flashes 8 times - what fault code is this and what component should I check or replace? Thanks
Water level failure.
Has the machine been moved recently?
Make sure the drain hose isn't too low or too far into a stand pipe. Common cause is syphoning causing the water level to drop.
Other causes, overfoaming, leaking or faulty Float switch. If you have any questions message me back. Please also remember when our chat has fully concluded to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation it allows me to continue helping others in similar situations in the future. Thanks again Rick

This kenmore 665.17023400 dishwasher has been making popping and grinding noises for about a month now. dishes are coming out with a dirty film covering. any advice?
The pump is probably not working or nearly seized. I just replaced the part in our dishwasher from BA Filter Supply (best price I could find for a genuine Whirlpool part). Our's took W10239404 Genuine Whirlpool Dishwasher Pump & Motor Assembly for $88

The job is pretty easy to do for someone handy if you can get the dishwasher out and turn it on its back. There is even a Youtube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjRxJy2IUE8

I have a grinding noise coming from my washer and the agitator wont turn.
Most likely source of noise is the coupling which is situated between the motor and the gearbox. Secondary fault can be the gearbox itself, but more likely to be the coupling.
Couplings are very awkward to do unless you know the 'tricks' to 'undressing' the machine.
It would probably be best to call a serviceman.
It is not a big job.
Good luck.......Nomess

Load grinding noise, like the engine is working too hard.
Most likely the motor/pump assembly is worn out and grinding. If the machine is less than five years old it is under warranty. If over five years old, the repair part alone is about $150 not including labor.

Whirlpool Dishwasher suddenly making a grinding noise...
Motors for tall tub whorlpools are over two hundred dollars. If its less than a year then its under warranty. You did not indicate model. If you can get back to me I'll look more in to seeing if it is feasable to repair or replace.

Dishwasher motor crapout
The dishwasher says kenmore but it is made by whirlpool or frigidaire. If the cost of repair exceed 2/3rds of the cost of a new one it would be best to replace it. Whirlpool makes good models. Their line of kitchenaid seem to be the quietest.
