I have water leaking from bottom of dishwasher
Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. If you have nuisance water leaks around the base of your
dishwasher, you may be using a detergent that is causing too much suds. Cut
back on the amount of detergent you use, and see if that makes a difference.
Water
that spills through the door vent is usually caused by improperly loading
dishes. Leaks from the door itself may be caused by a faulty door gasket or
door tightness adjustment. You should check the main tub seal, the door latch,
the door gasket, the water-inlet valve, and the fill and drain hoses.
Also make sure the dishwasher is sitting level (you can adjust the front feet
up or down, and many units have some type of levelers at the rear).
Water under the dishwasher may be originating from a leaky hose or loose hose
connection. Remove the lower front panel, and check the hoses. The pump seal
may be defective, too; replacing this is a job for an appliance repairperson.
An older dishwasher may corrode at the bottom, but this is fairly uncommon. If
this is the case with your dishwasher, it's time for a new one.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or
else revert for further assistance.
Thanks

This thing is insanely loud
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Dishwasher (and driving you crazy). Unfortunately, you are another victim of a common failure on some dishwashers.
You are right about this is not a normal sound.
The noise is due to vibration of the spray arm tube ( the top one or the middle one, it depends of the model on your dishwasher) during the operation. As the spray arm tube is not correctly fixed, it vibrates and makes the sound. The "easy" solution is to determine where is the little clip that is suppose to keep that tight. If there is no clip or it is broken you can use a tie (zip tie works great) to keep it fixed. Check for the spray arm to see if it is loose or wobbling. (it should not be completely fixed).
Don't use rubber band to fix the tube as the hot water can make a mess in the dishwasher.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Make sure that the spray bar when lifted by the water pressure is NOT hitting the dish rack OR has excessive friction. Test by manually lifting and turning.
Also the jets must exit at an angle to provide the torque.

This is a classic sign of too much detergent. Are you only using one tablet? Too low of a washing temperature could also be your culprit. Dishwasher detergent needs to be washed with at least 120 degree water. Check to make sure your supply is hot (if it's plumbed to intersect with your faucet, just check faucet hot water supply temp). I'm not sure why you're running it on a two hour cycle, dishwashers can generally do the job in about 40 minutes. The grit is probably because there are food particles in your food trap. Make sure the food filter beneath the spray arm (if equipped) is clean and check the lowest areas for food scraps.
Does not wash properly
easy test i came up with. take 5 coffee cups place them on the top rack upright. one in each corner and and one in the middle. do this after the dishwasher has started a cycle and is full with water. with the cups in place let the dishwasher run for one minute. then open the dood. the cups should be mostly full. if not, there is either not enough water or you have a pump problem.
