Dishwasher Making Loud High Pitched Noise.

Dishwasher Worked Fine For Many Months. Really Quiet. Started Making Loud High Pitched Noise When Running. It Still Runs Good And Cleans. But, The Noise Is Very Noticable.

    I have the same dishwasher and it was making a very loud grinding type noise for the longest time. Tonight it seemed to fail almost completely. The dishwasher fills and drains but will not wash. When it kicks into wash cycle, I get a buzzing noise from underneath. Thoughts?

    My dishwasher only is a little over three years old and started making a high pitched whine during the wash cycle. The dishwasher worked fine otherwise. I really didn't expect to have a problem so soson with this high end expensive dishwasher.



    I pulled it out and examined and cleaned the main pump and the grinder assemblies with no success. A motor bearing appears to be the most likely culprit at this point; I don't know if the the bearings are replaceable or I have to buy a new motor.

    I have a Kenmore Dishwasher Ultra Wash Quiet Guard 4 Model 16032. It is making a noise when it is in the wash cycle. It does not make the noise when pumping out. I have tried cleaning the choppers and that did not help.



    It could be the motor bearing. The machine was purchased March 2006. I only got 2.5 yrs before a major repair.

I cleaned out the debris-still loud. My guess is it needs a new motor. Typical Sears/Whirlpool product.

Weve had the same problems it appears the bearing in the drive motor is shot.

Problem is with the main pump motor bearing. Water leaking from the face seal enters the front bearing. After some time, the bearing wears out bringing on the loud noise. The motor is easy to remove but the bearing requires some time to remove. I did not have access to a press so I ground off the bearing an replaced it with a shielded 8mmx22mm type. Grainger p/n 1L001. The part is only $9 compared to over $200 for a replacement motor. It takes some time and disassembly of the dishwasher can be difficult but take your time and be ginger with the parts. The root of the problem seems to be the impeller. It screws onto the motor shaft and seems to work loose after time. Since its tightness compresses the face seal, when it loosens water can seep. No way to lock it in place after tightening. Weak design point.

Motor bearing failed. I had mine for less than 2 years. The whining/grinding noise is likely the motor bearing. When I pulle dth emotor off mine the bearing was completely destroyed.

How deep do you want to get into this?It sounds like the wash pump motor bearings that are worn.You can pull the unit out flip it over and wd40 the bearings in the motor or you can replace the bearings.Try to lube them first.

Dishwasher Making Loud High Pitched Noise.

A loud high pitch whine while running the dishwasher means that there is something caught in the chopper assembly. To get to the chopper assembly you need to take the racks out and take the pump apart from the inside of the dishwasher. The chopper assembly looks like a metal grate with holes in it. And it might not even be stuck in the grate but somewhere in the pump area due to the water being pumped out, so the best idea is to take the whole thing apart and clean everywhere. However I do not recommend doing this unless you are completely certain you will remember where the screws and gaskets go, otherwise you risk damaging your pump or house from a leak or improper installation. You have been warned.
