Yes we need a better description of the sound, A somewhat common problem with this vintage KA DW was a loose cooling fan on top of the main motor. You can get your finger in there and see if it is loose, if it is you have to remove and disassemble the complete pump and motor to get at it and then you can either replace the motor or epoxy the fan back on the shaft. You can also just ignore the sound as the DW will probably run many more years with a loose fan. There are many other things that can make a strange noise associated with the motors operation the most common is bad motor bearings, Good Luck. |
