use jet dry

On our KitchenAid dishwasher we had the same problem--a REALLY loud squeak as it opened. The sound comes from the nylon rope slipping along the plastic pulleys. We've had the DW for about 3 years and the noise has gotten worse over time. I was determined to win the war against the noise and am happy to say I fixed it today.

The trick is to use a dry lubricant on the cord and on the pulleys. I used Dry Graphite by Gunk. It comes in an aerosol spray can and once the stuff dried the squeak was gone. I'll let you know if it comes back...

you should check for food stuck in hose also check the food chopper assembly (under the bottom spray arm at the very bottom) if all else fails it may be the pump

Contact service agent or manufacturer.

You need to take out the bottom rack of the dishwasher and disassemble the lower spin arm and filters underneath it. You need to get right down to the chopper blade and disassemble and clean out the chopper blade assembly. Make sure there is nothing buried in the little holes. Once done and you are sure it is clean. Reassemble it all. It should work fine. Having said that.......It will happen again in a few washes until you replace the whole chopper blade assembly.

turn off breaker to it leave one minute and turn back on also make sure door is closed tight and nothing is fouling it from proper closing .

Check thermal fuse on control board

Mfg also advising replacing strike if replacing latch

These guys offer many colors and designs to cover all dishwashers. They also have stainless options.

Worth checking out.

Unscrew and remove the kickplate at the very bottom of the dishwasher. The tech sheet with the diagnostic code should be attached to the back of it.  If not, due a websearch and you should be able to find the info on yahoo or google.
