Hey guys. I've noticed that more and more dishwasher main wash pumps are getting quieter and quieter. Why is that? Did they eliminate cooling fans? Why or why not? I've noticed that even the new Maytag dishwashers eliminated the cooling fan noise since you can't hear it. I believe GE may have a very small one. What are your thoughts? |

Do GE dishwasher pumps still have a cooling fan? |

I have a 2018 TOL Whirlpool-made KitchenAid dishwasher. Its drying performance totally sucks. It has an asthmatic blower fan, but if one opens the machine at exactly the time when the cycle is complete, steam pours out of it and even glasses and plates still have water droplets on them. And yes, I do use a rinse aid. Other owners have complained of the same thing.

Which dishwashers have pumps that still use them? So far, I'm starting to hear less cooling fan noise on the dishwashers of today. I am referring to the ones with the fins cast into the motor rotor. |

The previous whirlpool dishwasher I had used a fan in the back of the motor which had a steady hum. It was the point voyager design. |

Believe me, I've been intrigued by it as well. My GE/Kenmore dishwasher had a cooling fan you could hear while running. To me, it made the dishwasher sound cool. It's interesting. |

I've could've sworn I've heard a cooling fan from the main wash pump on GE dishwashers. |

Does anybody make dishwasher pumps that are vertical or horizontal? What about Bosch? It seems to me that most are horizontal. Do they still make vertical pumps anymore? |

any have integral pump/drain motors anymore. Some were side mount. The motors are all smaller, and seperate, thus quieter, not always more durable. They don't mount to the tub, but have rubber plenums, so it doesn't matter which direction they face. |

My Kenmore built by Bosch has a bldc pump. I notice it would alternate spray pressure from low to high and back depending on what cycle it was on. I think the normal cycle does high pressure because I've heard it do that before. |
