Causes of a bad sound shield include cracks or tears in the insulation material from repeated wash cycles. Over time, the insulation and protective layers can degrade. 

Symptoms of a bad sound shield are:

• Increased noise levels coming from the dishwasher during operation  
• Vibrations felt outside of the dishwasher
• Dishes clattering louder than usual
• Insulation material showing signs of cracking or deterioration

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Symptoms of a bad check valve include:

• Water flowing backward out of the dishwasher or inlet hose
• Inability to properly fill or circulate water during cycles  
• Potential leaks or standing water below the appliance
