GU1500XTL loud humming sound during the cycle, getting louder

Our Whirlpool Gold GU1500XTL works ok, but recently has been VERY loud during the cycle. If I press cancel, the draining of the water sounds normal, but during the cycle there is a loud humming sound that has steadily gotten louder over the last week. Any ideas?

The run capacitor on the main wash motor needs replacing. Eventually it will just hum and overheat instead of rotating, so better replace it now before it overheats.

I doubt you can acces it easily yourself, as it may be away from the motor, and have to be tracked down.

Why is my whirlpool dishwasher making a loud noise during drain, wash and rinse cycles?

They can be complicated to re-assemble. Best solution is to video the procedure (if you have a video camera) during disassembly and make notes and diagrams to orient things properly and make sure the correct screws go back where they shoud. Takes more time, but you'll be glad you did, it will save you a lot of aggrevation in the long run.

Hear a humming sound when the dishwasher turned on. The panel seems to be ok. Model is GU1500'

Hello & Welcome to FixYa


If the hum sound is coming from the bottom panel then it is the moto that has gone bad and needs replacement. However, if you hear the sound from the control then it can be due to a bad relay in the control and it is recommended to replace the control completely. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Loud grinding noise that should go way after one complete cycle. After 3 cycles it just gets louder and louder.

Remove the lower spray assembly and clean out the sump area.
Probably broken glass or a loose screw got in there.

LOUD HUMMING AFTER WATER FILLS AT START OF CYCLE

Sounds like you have something in the sump/motor. I could lead you through it on a chat session but too much just to type. Let me know if you would like me to do so.

8 year old Whirlpool gas dryer will not run - it just hums when put on any setting. Is this a motor problem or the belt?

it sounds like the motor....generally before the motor dies the motor will become louder and louder, and when its hot and you try to restart it it will make a loud hum as it tries to turn

Whirlpool Washer LSR7233BQ2 Buzzes/Humms during spin cycle...no movement

No belt on your machine. Sounds like motor coupler that joins motor and transmission is broken. Very inexpensive part but a few steps involved in getting machine disassembled Look up YouTube video on replacing motor coupler on Whirlpool washer.
