Loud Whining/Humming noise while washing

The dishwasher functions normally except for the following problem. When it is washing it makes a loud humming/whining noise. The washing cycle periodically pauses and the noise disappears but starts again when the dishwasher resumes washing. I checked the chopper assembly and removed any debris from this area and the sound remains. I also ran throught the diagnostic cycle and the noise is only evident when the wash motor is running. If the problem is in the pump motor or pump sump is there a good way to find out which it is? Any help is appreciated.

    we have the same problem, LOUD Noise during the washing cycle, quiet rest of the time.  My machine is only 2 yrs 3 months old.  Called Whirlpool repair and they said it is probably the pump which will need to be replaced.  I am not very happy as it isn't that old.  I let you know.   KathyinAustin

    Same symptoms; I have to wonder how longer other's symptoms lasted before the motor was replaced or failed.

It's noisy If your dishwasher seems noisy, check these:

Water-inlet valve
Motor
Heater fan
Pump
Water-inlet valve An aging water-inlet valve can sometimes fail slowly, rather than all at once. It can shudder on and off rapidly, causing the incoming water lines to shake, rumble, and rattle--sometimes violently. If yours is doing this, replace the inlet valve.

Motor If it's the motor that's noisy, either of these may be the "culprit:"

  • As motor bearings wear out, they can become quite loud when the motor runs. They wear out quickly if they frequently get wet, because the water washes away the motor bearing grease. Bearings can get wet if the spin seal is defective. Then there will also be water leaking onto the floor beneath the dishwasher. Replace the seal if it leaks (read about the main tub seal in the "It leaks" section, later).

  • If, from beneath the dishwasher, you can see a round, plastic disc that's mounted to the top of the motor (a "slinger"), it may have broken free of the motor shaft. If so, it could be rattling around the shaft while the motor is running. If that's the problem, you need to replace the motor.

Heater fan If the heater fan bearings are rusted or worn, they may squeal, or scrape loudly during the drying cycle. If this is the problem, replace the fan motor. Alternatively, the fan blade may be loose. If so, you need to replace it.

Pump Small fruit pits, toothpicks, and fragments of glass sometimes get stuck in the pump. When this happens, open the pump and remove the debris. The pump is usually mounted directly to the motor, then attached to the bottom of the dishwasher.

To get to the pump, you usually need to remove the lower rack, the spray arms, and the spray arm support from the inside of your dishwasher. A dishwasher pump isn't obvious. Look for an impeller--a round, plastic fan blade-type device that spins around and pushes the water toward the drain. When you can see the drain impeller, you should be able to see the clogging debris.

Dishwasher hums intermitantly and after the wash cycle is completed
Sounds like you have a bearing going out. It could be in the system pump or the rotating washing arms. I would suggest getting ahold of Kitchenaid's customer support and relay when during which cycle the noise occurs and they should be able to identify whats going wrong.

LG LDF6810ST whine noise
-After paying an LG serviceman for a home visit, I told to refer to the manual-and there in small print-USE ONLY POWDER CLEANER. Gel and liquids make too much bubbles(thus air) in the hose producing the noise. It will take several washes-but the noise will go away!

The loud humming noise can be due to the pump sticking if a piece of debris gets trapped in it or an intermittent fault on the pump capacitor or starter relay.

Whirlpool Dishwasher Model: GU2500XTPQ3 making loud whining noise
It's most likely coming from the wash motor bearings. Based upon the age of the dishwasher it might be time for a new one. Although it can be fixed by replacing the motor. It's usually easiest to change the entire sump assembly with the motor. You will have a new wash system. Part number W10782773 Dishwasher Pump Motor Part Number 8535150 Sears PartsDirect

Loud humming noise when dishwasher is filling up with water
your model is pretty new. just so you know your warrenty is 1 year parts and labor. 2 years on parts. it should not cost that much money.

there are two components that start before the circulation pump.(wash noise you hear)

first sounds you hear will be the drain pump. usually rattling noises if something is in it but it can make a hum noise if something is jamming the drain propeller up. which is accessible with a T20 torx driver. take the filters out and the mesh filter. and unscrew the screw in the base towards the left. pull out whatever is lodged.

the other humming sound can come from the next component that activates is the watervalve. make sure you dont have a kinked water intake line. otherwise its a bad valve. i have had to change a few of those water valves out already but not for a hum noise on your model. you have a new style water valve. when brands make new parts we get problems fast sometimes..

Loud whining noise while washing
It may be debris in the food chopper or the motor going bad.

Inspect food chopper:
Remove lower spray arm and rear water supply tube to upper spray arm. Remove torx screws that secure the sump cover. Remove the rounded cover on the left side to expose the chopper assembly. Inspect for breakage of blockage. There may be an additional plastic screen to remove first.
