Samsung Dishwasher making noise
If your Samsung dishwasher is making noise, start with the parts most likely to cause it. The first thing to check is the drain pump, since debris caught in the pump can cause a dishwasher grinding noise, buzzing noise, or loud noise during drain. If the pump is clear but still noisy, the drain pump may need to be replaced. Next, look at the circulation pump, because worn motor bearings often create a steady humming noise or droning sound while the dishwasher is washing. After that, inspect the drain impeller and wash impeller. A broken, bent, or warped impeller can scrape the pump housing and make the dishwasher sound rough or unusually loud. If those parts check out, the problem may be in the pump and motor assembly or the circulation and drain pump motor, especially if the bearings have failed. On some models, you can replace an individual impeller, but in other cases the full assembly is the better fix. Enter your Samsung dishwasher model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement drain pump, circulation pump, drain impeller, wash impeller, or pump and motor assembly that fits your machine.

02 - Samsung Dishwasher Circulation Pump
The circulation pump motor has bearings that wear out over time. When the motor bearings fail, they generate a continuous drone. If the motor bearings have failed, you must replace the entire circulation pump.

03 - Samsung Dishwasher Drain Impeller
The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it.

04 - Samsung Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly
Part of the pump and motor assembly (such as the motor bearings, drain impeller, or wash impeller) might be defective. Often, you can replace the pump’s individual parts. However, if you do not want to disassemble the pump to replace its parts, or if the parts are not available separately, you can replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

05 - Samsung Dishwasher Wash Impeller
The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water through the spray arms. If one or more of the impeller blades is broken, the dishwasher will make noise. In addition, if the impeller is damaged, warped, or bent, it can scape against the pump housing. Inspect the wash impeller for damage. If the wash impeller is damaged, replace it. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.
