Possible Causes

Debris in circulation or drain pump, Spray arm hitting dishes or rack, Worn circulation pump bearings, Dishwasher not leveled or cabinet contact

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power before inspecting internal components.

  • Check loading: Ensure tall items are not contacting the spray arms. Spin arms by hand to confirm free movement.
  • Inspect for debris: Remove filters and check the sump for bones, glass, or hard objects contacting the impeller. Remove carefully.
  • Level the unit: Adjust leveling legs so the dishwasher is stable and not touching the cabinet sides.
  • Replace noisy pump: If noise persists and seems to come from the motor area, the circulation pump bearings may be worn. Replace the circulation pump assembly.
