How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before inspecting the sump or base.

  • Inspect spray arms: Spin the arms by hand to confirm they rotate freely without hitting racks.
  • Check sump for debris: Remove filters and look for glass, bones, or hard objects. Remove carefully.
  • Access pump if noise persists: Remove the base panel and inspect the circulation pump for play in the shaft or signs of bearing wear. Replace the pump if noisy.
