Why The Dishwasher Makes Strange Noises

There are naturally certain expectations with the sorts of sounds your dishwasher ought to make. If your dishwasher makes strange noises, it can be distracting at best. At worst, it could be an underlying cause of a more serious issue. That means over time, the strange/unpleasant noises could give way to your dishwasher not working as it should. This might be something you’re already experiencing, in addition to the sounds.

HandiFix Appliance Repair can take care of this problem. Our dishwasher technicians can figure out exactly why your dishwasher is making unusual sounds. This is a tricky problem for the simple fact that such noises can come from a variety of causes. We’ll work quickly to determine where the sound is originating from, and what else may need to be done.

The Dishwasher Circulation Pump

Your dishwasher circulation pump and motor assembly could be in need of repair or replacement work. If the motor itself is no longer working, the pump isn’t going to work either. You can then expect the presence of water leakage. This will be combined with the dishwasher itself making unpleasant noises while operating. If the pump or motor are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

The Drain Pump

This is another example of a damaged or otherwise faulty part being the source of the noise. This is also what we mean about the sounds themselves being an underlying cause for something more serious. If the drain pump isn’t working as you need it to, you’re going to experience a number of frustrating issues. Obnoxious noises will be among them.

The Wash Pump Motor

Spinning the wash pump impeller is your wash pump motor. This is a highly important component to your dishwasher. If your dishwasher is producing strange noises, one of the first things we’re going to check is the wash pump motor. In addition to what should be very loud noises, there is also a good chance that your dishwasher also won’t be washing the dishes as it should.
