Dishwasher Noise – For the love of Pete, turn your appliance off if you hear it making a strange noise, I ran a call today for a dishwasher making a lot of noise when running. When I originally was talking to the lady of the house, she had told me that she just let it run through the cycle even though it sounded like a jet taking off,(bad idea!!).
Once I arrived on site and was able to examine the dishwasher, I immediately saw that their was some broken glass in the drain and impeller compartment. It was making noise because the glass was grinding away inside the impeller compartment all the way thorough the cycle that had been run.
The glass had been ground up and had eaten up the impeller and the housing and the only solution would be to disconnect the power, water and drain lines, completely pull the unit out and take it apart to visually inspect which parts had suffered damage and would need replacing.
But, due to the age of the dishwasher and the fact that a new one could be purchased for just a tad more than what it would take to repair this one, they decided to go ahead and just replace it.
The sad part was that the dishwasher had been working great until this problem occured and more than likely would have continued to work for a few more years. Lesson learned, when you hear dishwasher making noise, turn it off immediately, you’ll probably save yourself some money if you do.
Nice work. It’s better to ask professional for repair because some people thinks that they can do it but it’s need some technical knowledge.
