Possible Causes

Dishwasher not leveled, Loose mounting brackets, Drain hose or water hoses pulling on cabinet, Damaged pump mount or rubber feet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the appliance.

  • Level the dishwasher: Use a spirit level to adjust the front and rear feet so the Sharp dishwasher is stable and does not rock.
  • Secure mounting: Ensure the top or side mounting brackets are firmly screwed into the countertop or cabinet.
  • Check hoses: Make sure hoses are not tightly stretched or snagged, which can transmit vibration.
  • Inspect pump mounts: If vibration is localized to the base, check the circulation and drain pump mounts and rubber dampers. Replace damaged mounts.
