toploader55 Its only intermittent, during the spray cycle. I've run two loads since I first heard it, and it didn't do it- so maybe it's just a fluke? | ||

Strange squealing noise This is usually caused by the pump seal and is not immediate cause for concern. But you may be able to reduce or eliminate this sound by trying one or more of the following suggestions. Use a little detergent in the open pre-wash cup if you are not doing so, use less detergent in general, use a shorter cycle, put the dishes in with more food soil still on them, especially oils and if all else fails try adding a few table spoons of Bon-Ami cleanser to the machine when you start it for a few loads to re-hone the seal. | ||

Noise
Ultrawash is the Kenmore branded, right? My Mom has one. I have a similar Whirlpool dishwasher, and I think the guts are the same for the most part. The only difference between the two that I've seen is that mine has an additional jet on the bottom of the top wash arm. There's one on each end shooting down which I think are intended to drive the arm (cause it to rotate). Mine has an additional jet that seems to be directed opposite the rotation.
Anyway, mine is the basic Whirlpool electronic model, no timer knob, short tub. It's relatively new, (the last short tub they produced, I think), and once in a blue-moon I get a bit of a screeching noise, usually during drain. I was concerned at first, but it's not been an issue. | ||
