That is the sound of the motor stalling. Either (as common on this series) the motor/pump bearings are starting to seize up, or maybe its just the motor capacitor on its way out. |

Is the capacitor a replaceable part or does the whole motor unit need to be replaced? |

Not sure, but I think its pretty easily replaceable IIRC. I think its just behind one of the side panels. Might be mixing things up though, so no warranty on what I say. |

Yes the machine is was running in the pic. Usually you get a buzzing sound a few clicks and either more buzzing or the circulation motor will start. The no display drives me nuts and is only for the delay feature. |

Hey everyone, The capacitor came in this evening. I will try and look at videos on how to repair it. Anything in particular that I need to look out for? Thanks, Blake |

Be aware when you tip it onto its back that water will run out of the overflow in the bottom of the dishwasher. The only way to prevent this is to use a sponge or a towel and fully drain the sump. Otherwise you'll need a Torx headed driver to get the base plate off to get in there. |

mains filter/suppression capacitor. Turn off the softener and see if you hear a buzz. |

So after changing both capacitors, I still have the buzz. I have now ordered the water valve located on left side if dishwasher. I’m $250 into the machine and if this doesn’t work I will be carrying it over to the trash. |

I mean, why trash such an expensive machine just because it makes a noise? As long as it runs, let it run... |

Fear of the unknown is why. What if this part causes a fire? The plug is located behind the unit in Jr cabinet, so I cant unplug after each use. Also I’m in a long chain of townhomes. If My unit were to catch fire and set my neighbors home on fire I would feel terrible. |
