Common dishwasher repair parts you may need
Replacing one of these dishwasher parts may fix your problem.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
A noisy dishwasher might be due to a faulty electronic control board, which controls all dishwasher functions. If the board fails to send current to the fill valve, causing the pump to run without water, it can produce a buzzing sound. When you notice this noise, it's best to schedule a visit from a Sears Home Services Technician. They can inspect the electronic control board and other parts to identify and resolve the issue with your dishwasher.
User Interface Control Replacement
If your dishwasher is noisy, a damaged user interface control might be the cause. When the electronic control board detects this issue, it usually stops the cycle and activates the drain pump to empty the tub. The drain pump may continue to buzz even after all the water has been drained. If you hear this buzzing sound and suspect a damaged user interface control, it's best to have a Sears Home Services Appliance Technician inspect and repair your dishwasher.
Pump and Motor Assembly Replacement
If you hear unusual noises like buzzing, grinding, or whining from your dishwasher, it could indicate a problem with the pump and motor assembly. Debris, like a piece of glass, rubbing against the pump impeller may cause buzzing or grinding noises, while worn motor bearings often produce a whining sound. Even if the pump continues to run despite the loud noises, it's essential to have a Sears Home Services Expert inspect the pump and motor assembly and replace any faulty parts.
What to expect when you experience a dishwasher noisy issue
How do I fix a noise problem in my dishwasher?
Addressing most noise issues typically requires replacing components like the electronic control board, user interface control, or pump and motor assembly. However, since there are various potential causes, conducting a thorough diagnosis is crucial for resolving the problem. An accurate diagnosis is necessary to determine the extent of the repair needed.
Sears Home Services advice for dealing with a noisy dishwasher
When your dishwasher is noisy, there could be several causes. To prevent unnecessary part replacements, we advise having a Sears Home Services expert conduct diagnostic tests to pinpoint the exact issue. Our technicians are skilled at identifying various dishwasher problems.
What to expect for with a dishwasher that makes noise diagnosis
Identifying issues with modern appliances can be challenging without the right expertise and training. Without employing accurate diagnostic methods, resolving problems with your dishwasher may involve replacing parts without certainty. Appliances, particularly those manufactured in the last decade, have become highly advanced, often containing electronic components that are tricky to assess. DIY repairs on these newer models are becoming more complex over time.

Thorough
James called to give an estimated arrival time. He was professional and personable. He had 2 professional ideas of the problem and found 1 was correct, but he didn't stop there. He did a thorough check of the appliance. 1 small part was needed. He ordered the part to my house. Fortunately, he was able to schedule for the next week, just before Thanksgiving. As before, he called ahead, arrived and quickly fixed the problem. My appliance is working perfectly.
