Our kitchen aid dishwasher is about 7 years old, recently it has begun making a high pitched whine while the wash cycle is running. The dishes are still clean, but the noise is new and annoying not to mention that it could be the start of a big problem the model number on the dishwasher is kudlo1lL

Sounds like you have 1 of 2 problems. Either your pump is clogged or you need a bigger drain loop.

Most likely there is debris at the pump impeller. This model has a problem with debris and grease accumulation at the pump inlet. I have no idea how it gets past the screen but it does. Remove the transfer tube on the back wall, the lower sprayer, and screen assembly. Clean out the debris and reverse installation.

sounds like you have a broken chopper. have you checked the chopper how far have you taken it apart? if the unit is put back together point all wash arms in the same direction turn the dishwasher on after it has started washing give it about 2-3 minutes open the door and see what wash arm is not moveing. if the upper wash arm is not moveing you need to check the chopper.

Testimonial: "THANKS SO MUCH. WE REALLY HATED WASHING THE DISHES BY HAND. THE CHOPPER HAD FALLEN OFF AND JUST NEEDED TO BE PUT BACK IN ITS PLACE."

Hi.

Using too much rinse aid will not work. Stick to user manual factory prescriptions. If you use correct amount of rinse aid, and the right product for your dishwasher, that is not the cause of the stains.

Ensure that you are using the right detergent along with rinse aid. Check specifications on manual.

Ensure that the drain well is clean.

Ensure that spray arms have enough pressure, check water level and impeller pump.

If you still get stains on dishes, and you are sure that they had been caused by limescale, that means that the water in your house is too hard. This will also damage your appliances in the long term, causing faults due to accumulation of limescale and rust.

The best thing to do is installing a water filtration system on the appliance inlet.Call your local appliance shop or technician to discuss about the problem and purchase a filtration system for your appliance.
