Frigidaire Dishwasher making noise
If your Frigidaire dishwasher is making noise, start with the parts most likely to cause it. A Frigidaire dishwasher loud noise or dishwasher grinding noise often comes from a drain pump clogged with debris, and if the drain pump is clear but still noisy, it usually needs to be replaced. Next, check the circulation pump, since worn motor bearings can cause a steady drone or dishwasher humming noise during the wash cycle. A broken drain impeller is another common cause, followed by problems in the pump and motor assembly, where failed bearings, a damaged drain impeller, or a worn wash impeller can all create extra noise. The wash impeller itself can also scrape the pump housing if it is bent, warped, or broken. On some models, the circulation and drain pump motor bearings can fail and create the same continuous sound. If your dishwasher is making noise and not washing properly, these pump-related parts are the right place to begin. Enter your Frigidaire dishwasher model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact drain pump, circulation pump, drain impeller, wash impeller, or pump and motor assembly that fits your machine.

02 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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.

06 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Circulation and Drain Pump Motor
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, replace the motor or replace the entire pump and motor assembly.
