These DWs were made in Findlay Ohio where WP builds all its DW brands [ WP, KA, MT, JA, and most KM DWs ], WP built the pump assembly, they sourced the main motors and the little drain pump.
I do not see or hear any similarity between these DWs and GE DWs, but I guess that you could say all DWs sound somewhat the same, LOL. |

The amount of sound you're hearing may indicate a lower tier insulation package. These models typically had an active vent that closed during wash periods to contain noise, but if the spray can be heard prominently through the door, there may be very little padding inside the door itself.
The Voyager dishwashers were/are great designs. They really were "updated" versions of their PowerClean predecessors in how the pump and filtering system worked. The only trade offs were that the taller tub and slightly less powerful motor, paired with less water per fill, meant longer wash cycles. They worked out a lot of the issues within the first few revisions, and they ended up being extremely well performing and reliable dishwashers when taken care of. |

I ran my dishwasher today, and the wash pump sounded like the GE potscrubber during the wash cycle. If you listen closely, you can hear the hum do to that fan of the wash motor. I believe it's the pitch of the wash motor when full of water is higher than the GE potscrubber. |
