Eric for Model Number Kenmore 665.158J1793 Dishwasher The dishwasher has begun to make a high-pitched whine for a few minutes during the beginning of the cycle. After a few minutes it slowly diminishes and won't make any more odd sounds for the rest of the cycle. Kinda sounds like a bearing noise on the pump but I can't make much sense out of the fact that the sound stops. It still washes the dishes just as well as before it started making the whine. Is the pump about to fail? Thanks for your help!
Answer Eric, It is possible that the pump bearings are starting to fail. The reason that the unit would make a whine and then it taper off would be that as the bearings start heating up they move more freely. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, April 5, 2016
