when the drain cycle happens, do you hear the motor kick on? If not, does the motor run during normal wash cycles?

Lead,

We haven't run it for a couple months.

I can give it a run after checking to see if the drain line is blocked and give some details to sounds and/or what lights up on the front as for the cycles.

Well, no need to troubleshoot now, a guy in our offroad club is upgrading to stainless an giving me his old washer. It's black like mine to boot.

I think I'm going to keep mine and try to sort it out regardless.

THanks for all the input and advise.

Got the hand me down dishwasher in.

It's a noisy cuss. But it cleans better than the other one.

Thanks for all the help.

To help reduce the noise around the dishwasher, you might want to install some of the insulation that is rigid, above and beside the dishwasher.

Our old Whirlpool d/w was one noisy machine!!!!!!!

It's gotten to the point where we don't trust the unit anymore and do the dishes by hand unless there is a huge load of them, one day we'll replace it.

You might try replacing the pump and checking the door seal but if it goes again shortly after fixing it just junk the thing and buy a new one because it seems once they break the first time they never work right again.
