Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. If your dishwasher seems noisy, check these:
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, and 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.
Please do rate the solution if
the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.
Thanks
