Rick for Model Number whirlpool du1345xtvq1 I've had this dishwasher for some time and have done a LOT of repairs on it. I have 8 children so it gets a LOT of use. Recently it'll fill all the way and start cleaning but it makes a churning sound about every second and a half. It looked like it hadn't filled enough so to test that I pause the cycle by opening the door and fill the washer manually until the float begins to rise. I then close the door and within 2-3 minutes the churning begins again, so I add more water to the same level and sure enough the same thing happens withing 2-3 minutes. I've checked carefully and there's no water leaking at all. The machine has run well for long periods of time and this just began recently when I replaced the drain motor. I suspect there's something leaking into the drain tube but to lose that much water in just a few minutes is confusing. Can you shed some light on this?
Answer Hello Rick, it sounds like the dishwasher is losing wash water, and since it is not leaking out onto the floor, then it is going out the drain hose. Check if the drain hose to the sink/standpipe has fallen down , it has to have a high loop to prevent siphoning. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, January 14, 2020
