Groaning noise in dishwasher cycle - appears to be at begining and end of wash cycles. Draining fine. Groans for for about 3 seconds and then moves on...

Noise on fill or when cycle is ongoing before wash cycle/modeas far as i can tell. Its a Bosch SMS50T02GB/40. I have already removed and checked the drain impeller pump and made sure no obstructions in the main body of the unit. During the rest of the cycle it is silent running - is there a solenoid or valve that changes direction or something that could be making the noise as it reverses flow or something like that? UPDATE: I found a related post on here that pointed me in the direction of the spray arms. I removed the upper spray arm - noise goes away. Put it in again - noise comes back. My only question is this: by removing the spray arm, i reduce the incoming pressure...the noise is loud enough to be more than plastic and there are no moving parts other than the spinning arm. Could the noise be related to a pump that is straining to get the water up to pressure when the upper arm is in place? If so - which pump would this be please? Thanks for your views

SOURCE: Diswasher motor making noise during wash cycle

It could be the impeller on the motor. The impeller fits over the shaft of the motor and might have split/broken up. That funny noise is probably the shaft spinning inside the damage impeller. Fortunately the impeler is fairly inexpensive and easy to replace. I believe there are one or two parts/covers to remove that are held in by a roughly half dozen torx screws.

SOURCE: Bosch Dishwasher SHV4303UC - Does not drain.

Try looking for slithers of glass etc under the impeller. Remove the sump covers (filters) and look into the bottom. There will probably be a small cover held down by a screw. Under this is the impeller. Roll up a hand towel into a cigarette shape and slide this under the impeller - that should clear anything out.

SOURCE: Squealing noise

had same squealing problem.... had machine checked over. NOTHING WRONG.
Repair people ran it a few times with just water and no squealing at all. they also ran it with detergent capsule [Fairy] No squealing. Have got it back to monitor it. Used Fairy capsules for a few washes and no problems. As soon as I used the Waitrose Essential concentrated dishwasher liquid, the squeak was back with a vengeance.
The moral of my story is TRY NOT USING LIQUID DISHWASHER DETERGENT

Bosch SHU3032UC/U12 is not draining during the washing cycle.

For Bosch Dishwasher Ascenta models, open the door to reset it. Hold the Start-Reset button for about 5 seconds or until the Active indicator turns off. Shut the door of the dishwasher to allow it to thoroughly drain before turning it off.
This should reset the cycle drain.

Loud sounds

Many Frigidaire dishwashers come with the promise of being the "quietest dishwasher in its class," according to Frigidaire. However, a quiet dishwasher doesn't necessarily mean that the dishwasher is silent, as some noises are normal. It can take some troubleshooting at times to determine if a noise coming from the dishwasher is typical or if it indicates a larger problem Listen for the sound of water filling and draining throughout the wash cycle. These sounds are normal and do not indicate an issue.

  • 2 Pay attention to the drain motor, which operates at the beginning of each cycle. This noise should be fairly quiet and should not sound like a loud, grinding or banging sound.
  • 3 Note that the sound will change when the wash cycle moves between the lower and middle spray arms. This sound should be temporary and fairly quiet.
  • 4 Look for hard items in the dishwasher grinder or filter if a loud crunching, buzzing or grinding sound is heard. The dishwasher can typically grind up these items within one or two cycles, but the item may be lifted out and discarded to eliminate the sound.
  • 5 Remove the bottom rack and spray arms from the bottom of the dishwasher if there is a loud noise coming from the dishwasher that does not resolve itself. Look inside for the impeller, which is round and spins. Remove any debris that may be clogging up the impeller or pump.

    Hotpoint Superplus 7822 dishwasher

    At the beginning of the cycle the dishwasher is attempting to pump out any residue water in the waste pipe and sump. It could be that the motor is sticking but you would probably also suffer from it not draining properly.
    It may just be noisy pump. I have a similar model and it is also quite noisy but nothing extraordinary.
    When the dishwasher is pumping out at the end of the washing cycle it may be quieter when there is water in the pump/pipes but then gets noisy as it 'pumps air'.
