Diplomat adp8322 dishwasher

Hi,

I have a god awful sound coming from the bottom front right hand side of my dishwasher.

It used to do it on the hotter washes and now does it on all of them.

I'm thinking it could be the pump, any thoughts?

Cheers

Can you describe the noise.
That is most likely the circulation pump though could be the drain pump depending on when it does it i.e which cycle of the programme, something caught in the impellor or bearings gone or impellor has come off/loose and hitting the 'housing'.

On a 30min cycle it'll do that for about 10mins. Then go quite for a few minutes and then make the same noise.

Thank you very much for any help.

Drain pump only runs for a max of 2 mins at a time so most certainly the circulation pump.
Look inside the tub under the filter and see if you can feel anything in the opening to the circ pump, usually to the right of the bottom of the jug.

Do the spray arms freely spin and not hit dishes or any other obstacle? Might be worth removing the spray arms, then listen to hear the 2 jets of water hitting the top of the inside of the tub and the door. You will get an idea of how pressure the water is under. If theres hardly any pressure you won't hear the water jets hitting the inside.
