 Probably the pump. Could be something foreign in it, or it's wearing. Run it in diagnostics to check the sound, although it may different with water than without. Diagnostics: - Press Soak, Cycle Signal, Soak, Cycle Signal. - Display = dT. - Press Wash Temp once, display = 00. - Select a temp (cold, hot, cold+hot). Press Soil Level to switch between the four input sources (detergent dispenser, bleach dispenser, softener dispenser, fresh spray). Water will run only until the pressure switch triggers. - Press Extra Rinse to run the pump in drain direction. Lid must be closed to start the pump but it may then stay running when opened. - Press Extend Spin to run the pump in recirculate direction. - Power to exit. There are other diagnostics but the above is all you need to check the pump. | ||

Access to the pump is from the bottom, machine must be either leaned way over or laid on its back to remove the bottom service panel. I suggest propping it up a little with something under the top of the cabinet (not behind the console to avoid damage) to avoid water running out if laid completely flat. Wiring harness. Remove two hoses, then three nuts that mount the pump assembly. Early production had the pump and motor as separate pieces, either could be replaced individually. Clips mount the pump to the motor (remove the pump first, then the motor). One of the engineering revisions changed to a unitary pump/motor assembly, which is the only style available as replacement - P/N 285990.

don't wait too long to fix
I had replaced the pump with the new style and it started whinning as well, probably for almost a year. Then one day I went out, the pump had stopped, the machine had overfilled and jammed up the mechanism. I haven't gotten around to pulling everything apart to see how much damage was done, but don't wait too long so that the pump stops or you might end up with even more trouble.
Good luck! John | ||
