Maytag dishwasher sounds as though it has 'grinding' during cleaning cycle. either it is unable to dispose of a harder than food like item...or what? We have only had our Quiteseries 300 for a little over 2 years. It is making the same grinding noises during the washing cycle. The dishes are pretty clean, but not like it use to.
Check for foreign objects like glass or plastic at the grinder blades. Some dis assembly will be required. See appliancepartspros.com for diagram.

FYI... I followed Miss Midget's steps... and there it was... a piece of plastic... actually one of the end caps from the rack. Poor design if you ask me. So for all you "grinders" out there, it's an easy fix... just need the appropriate star screwdriver. It went back together easier than it did taking it apart. Thanks.

About 1 minute after I start our Maytag 300 quiet series dishwasher a grinding sound starts which I can hear 3 rooms away. It sounds like a motor is grinding. I have taken the kick plate off and vacuumed the bottom out and checked for anything which might be impeding the motor. Nothing. I installed the dishwasher over 3 years ago and have had no other problems with it (that I couldn't fix easily). Does anybody have any Ideas as to what I can check or how to fix this problem?
