My dishwasher is buzzing and won't run at all?

Question

My dishwasher is buzzing and won't run at all?

Answer 1

Does water still run? If so, it's the motor. If not, your water line could be clogged.

Either way, a local plumber should be best to analyze the issue if it's not under warranty

Answer 2

Most common problem with dishwashers is the timer mechanism. Have it checked by a repair person. They are not easy to service yourself.

Answer 3

Typically the buzzing noise is from the motor. When a motor goes bad and does not spin up it will usually just make a buzzing or a humming noise. This is one of the major components of the dishwasher and would need to be serviced by a professional. typically it can cost more to repair it than replacing the whole dishwasher.

Answer 4

It sounds like either your water line is clogged or the dishwasher pump is no longer working.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Sounds like you may have a food particle or something along those lines caught in your pump.  Alot of dishwashers run the pump in one direction to wash and the opposite to drain.  Try advancing the timer to a drain part and see if it dislodges whats in your pump.  if this doesn't work, you may need a repair person.  Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Any buzzing is a bad sign. Call an expert before you use it again. Could be electrical.

Answer 7

Call repairman or service dept. where you bought it.
