Dishwasher leaking from pump housing.

The dishwasher wasn't draining with a loud noise coming from underneath. Identified that there was a chip from a coffee mug in the pump housing getting the white, rotating blades stuck upon drainage. Removed the chip, put it back together (o-ring gasket in place and pump housing secure, which is tricky). Dishwasher will drain now, but leaks from the pump housing, which appears securely fastened. The gasket does not appear to be damaged. Any thoughts on why it could be leaking? Model: FPHD2491KFO Serial #: KHO2911086

If it is not leaking around a shaft seal, you can disassemble it again and use permatex or silicon sealer on the mating surfaces

FDB1050remo Making a squeaking sound almost as if a belt slipping. Not overloaded and nothing rubbing on washer blades. My only guess is that it may be related to low water pressure. Is that possible?

Circulation Pump

If the dishwasher is loud during operation, and the noise is a continuous drone similar in speed to the circulation pump sound, it's likely that the circulation pump motor bearings have failed. Once this happens the circulation pump will have to be replaced, the bearings are not repairable.

Drain Impeller

If the dishwasher is loud during operation, the drain impeller might be broken, or there might be debris in the pump. Generally, to gain access to the pump the top of the pump housing will have to be removed.

Pump and Motor Assembly

If the dishwasher is loud the motor bearings, drain impeller or wash impeller might have worn out. All three of these components are part of the pump and motor assembly. It may be possible to replace one of the impellers, but the motor bearings cannot be repaired. In that case the pump and motor assembly will need to be replaced.

Wash Impeller

The wash impeller is a small, plastic blade. The motor spins the impeller forcing water through the spray arms to clean the dishes. If one or more blades has broken off of the impeller the dishwasher is loud. The impeller can also scrape against the pump housing if it is damaged, warped or bent.

Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve is an electrically controlled water valve. When it is new, the water inlet valve is very quiet. Over time, the diaphragm inside the valve deteriorates and deforms. This deformation interacts with the water rushing in and can cause a loud vibration, buzzing, squealing or other noises. If the dishwasher is loud during the filling cycle, replacing the water inlet valve may solve the problem.

My Danby 1805 portable dishwasher leaks from underneath only when the water is being pumped back from the washer to the sink. My repair technician was not able to find the leak by looking from underneath...

Your pump may be cracked or a drain hose may have a hole. Also check the dishwasher housing not the cabinet that you can see I have seen small holds due to defects in the plastic that the housing is made up of. Of time with heat and moisture these hols may appear. Look for small crackes in crevices. They are hard to detect once the cabinet is removed start the dishwasher and have flashlight to see exactly where water is coming from.

If you have anymore questions please comment me back.

Loud grinding noise when washer is draining

something in the impeller housing. not usually serviceable. not sure if that unit has two pumps. you could look underneath the tub and try to determine that, and where the noise is coming from.
i am confident the issue relates to a pump unit.
