It sounds like you may have a broken door spring. You will have to take off the bottom panel and with a flash light you can look to see if one of the springs came off or broke. If the spring is broken you will have to purchase a new spring and replace it.

My whirlpool dishwasher model # WDT780SAEM1 makes a loud popping noise when I open and shut the door. What is causing it and how do I fix it?

The loud popping noise that you're hearing when you open and shut the door of your Whirlpool dishwasher (model # WDT780SAEM1) is most likely caused by the door gasket. The door gasket is the rubber seal that runs around the door, creating a tight seal when the door is closed.
Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
  1. Check the gasket for damage: Inspect the door gasket for any tears, cracks, or other damage. If you find any damage, you will need to replace the gasket.
  2. Clean the gasket: Over time, debris and food particles can accumulate on the gasket, causing it to become stiff and not seal properly. Clean the gasket with a mild detergent and warm water, and then dry it thoroughly.
  3. Check the door alignment: Make sure that the door is properly aligned and not hitting the gasket when you open and shut it. If the door is not aligned properly, you will need to adjust it.
  4. Lubricate the hinge: If the door gasket is in good condition and properly aligned, the problem may be with the hinge. Try lubricating the hinge with a silicone-based lubricant, as this can help to reduce friction and noise.
  5. Contact Whirlpool: If you have tried all of the above steps and are still unable to fix the issue, contact Whirlpool customer service for further assistance. They will be able to provide you with additional troubleshooting steps or advice, or they may need to send a technician to repair or replace the dishwasher.
It's important to note that if the popping noise you're hearing is accompanied by other symptoms, such as leaks, then it may be related to a different problem, and you should contact Whirlpool customer service or a professional service technician for further diagnosis and repair.

My samsung dishwasher has a constant buzz that occurs during start up and lasts through all of the cycles. I saw where there is an electrical noise filter and did not know if that could be the cause.

No a noise filter is a different kettle of fish. That stops electrical interference noise from affecting your television, radios and electrical devices.

The most likely source of the hum is the start capacitor on the motor, or the motor itself.

This has a different idea

Humming or Grinding If your Samsung dishwasher makes noise when starting that sounds like a low hum, it's part of normal function. The motor makes this sound as it operates throughout the wash cycle. However, a dishwasher making loud humming noise or grinding sounds could mean that debris is caught in the drain pump.

Samsung Dishwasher Making Noise? Follow These Tips

This says the drain pump, but the drain pump only runs to empty out so it wouldn't do it all the time.

Why is my Kitchenaid dishwasher model KUDS01DJSS0 pump making loud humming noise? Pump motor suddenly began making loud humming noise when running. (not so bad when draining).

Some dishwashers have a soft food disposal inside. If something is hung up, it will grind or hum for a long time. If this is the problem, it will eventually go away.

Drain Pump

If the dishwasher is loud during operation, the drain pump might be defective or might have some debris in it. This is a common problem.

Circulation Pump

If the dishwasher is loud during operation, and the noise is a continuous drone similar in speed to the circulation pump sound, it's likely that the circulation pump motor bearings have failed. Once this happens the circulation pump will have to be replaced, the bearings are not repairable.

Drain Impeller

If the dishwasher is loud during operation, the drain impeller might be broken, or there might be debris in the pump. Generally, to gain access to the pump the top of the pump housing will have to be removed.

Pump and Motor Assembly

If the dishwasher is loud the motor bearings, drain impeller or wash impeller might have worn out. All three of these components are part of the pump and motor assembly. It may be possible to replace one of the impellers, but the motor bearings cannot be repaired. In that case the pump and motor assembly will need to be replaced.

Wash Impeller

The wash impeller is a small, plastic blade. The motor spins the impeller forcing water through the spray arms to clean the dishes. If one or more blades has broken off of the impeller the dishwasher is loud. The impeller can also scrape against the pump housing if it is damaged, warped or bent.

Circulation and Drain Pump Motor

Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve is an electrically controlled water valve. When it is new, the water inlet valve is very quiet. Over time, the diaphragm inside the valve deteriorates and deforms. This deformation interacts with the water rushing in and can cause a loud vibration, buzzing, squealing or other noises. If the dishwasher is loud during the filling cycle, replacing the water inlet valve may solve the problem.

When dishwasher is draining it makes a very loud noise but it does drain

May be solenoid valve makes a thud noise. It is normal.

But if it was silent during earlier days usage and the noise is notice now, then check it's mounting. For this you have to open the back door of your machine.

My Bosch SHU43C will sometimes make a loud noise

It may be more cost affective to just replace this unit. the circulation motors that are used in these dishwashers are not reliable. the wash impellers seems to have issues dealing with staying attached to the drive stud and shaft. this will cause the impeller ti shift inside the housing, causing noise and jams.

A new circulating impeller kit will cost about 100 dollars and, labor for this type of repair is 80 dollars an hour.
