Stanley A Cheraw , SC July 19, 2015 Whirlpool silent partner 2 Loud grinding sounds when machine war running. I read other blogs saying that water would get behind motor seal rusting out bearings . I figured $100 for a motor was better than $400 for a new dishwasher. Bottom line replaced motor silent partner is quiet and running like new.
