Dishwasher - Rattling Noise

While the dishwasher is in operation, the water action can cause the dishes to rattle. It is even possible for lightweight plastic objects to be forced out of the rack. Make sure the dishes and utensils are secure and not banging together.

Diagnosing a Rattling Noise in a Dishwasher

This rattling sound can be hard to distinguish from abnormal motor noises. To determine if a rattling noise is a loading issue, run the dishwasher again without any dishes. If the noise is not present, please consult the Owner's Manual for loading suggestions. If the noise persists, service may be needed for the dishwasher.

You can get general loading tips and recommendations on how to place your dishes in the upper and lower rack by reviewing our Dishwasher - Loading Tips article. We also have a short video below that helps with loading your dishwasher.

If the noise is still present when you are running the dishwasher empty, it is most likely due to debris in the pump. It is recommended you have the dishwasher repaired. For service, schedule a repair appointment with Bodewell.
