Maytag Dishwasher making noise
If your Maytag dishwasher is making noise, start with the parts most likely to cause it. A noisy dishwasher often points first to a drain pump clogged with debris or a drain pump that is starting to fail. Next, check the circulation pump, since worn motor bearings can cause a steady drone while the dishwasher is washing. A broken drain impeller can also create noise as it pushes water into the drain hose, and a damaged wash impeller may scrape the pump housing or keep water from moving properly through the spray arm system. If those parts check out, the problem may be in the pump and motor assembly itself, including the motor bearings, drain impeller, or wash impeller, or in the circulation and drain pump motor. Whether your Maytag dishwasher is making noise, a loud noise, a grinding noise, a buzzing noise, or a humming noise, matching the sound to the failed part is the key to a solid repair. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Maytag replacement part that fits your dishwasher.

02 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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.
