Does your Whirlpool dishwasher have the following issue? Rattling noise/sound
Why is this happening?
Rattling noise/sound reason: Sounds like this can happen when dishes are not loaded properly and are hitting the spray nozzles, or when there is a loose filter or other item inside the dishwasher getting knocked around by the spray nozzles
Recommendation
Ensure the dishwasher is loaded properly. A utensil could be hanging out of the rack, knocking into the spray nozzles or deflector. If dishes are not secure, they may move around on the racks and cause noise.
Some models have a removable filter system that, if not secured, will bounce around inside of the dishwasher, making tapping sounds. To see instructions for removing, cleaning, and reinserting the filter, please refer to your specific model’s user manual. If your model doesn’t mention the filter, then it is not removable on that model.
If the dishwasher is clean, but the noise still happens when running an empty cycle, contact a dishwasher repairer.
Other troubleshooting to try
- Check the power to your house
- Check your dishwasher circuit breaker
- If your dishwasher motor has overheated, it will work again when it gets back to a normal operating temperature. Try unplugging your machine, waiting fifteen minutes then trying again
- Is the dishwasher door fully closed? If the door isn’t pushing on the closed switch, the machine won’t work
- Is your machine full of suds? You might have used too much detergent and the machine is unable to drain
- Is the drain hose kinked or clogged?
- Are the water taps still turned on?
- Check for a clogged filter
