GE Profile Worn Pump Bearings / Motor Noise

Dishwasher makes a high-pitched squealing or whining noise during operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn circulation pump bearings, Debris partially contacting impeller, Cavitation from low water level, Failing drain pump

Safety: Turn off power before servicing pumps.

Steps:

1. Verify proper fill level: Ensure the tub fills adequately; low water can cause cavitation noise.
2. Clean sump and filters: Remove any debris that could contact the impeller.
3. Isolate noise source: Listen during wash vs. drain to determine if the circulation or drain pump is noisy.
4. Replace noisy pump: If the noise is persistent and from a specific pump, replace that pump assembly.
