I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher KUDR24, installed 1997. It has been
performing flawlessly until about a month ago when the pump started making
this grinding noise during draining. I assumed this was the food disposer
and surely after a few more loads it subsided significantly....but not
completely. Now during a cycle, when the pump runs it is a bit noisier than
it used to be as if something may be in there. The machine runs fine. It
doesn't sound annoying enough (yet) to call for service...especially for the
$250+ it would cost me for a new pump.
Any thoughts on the issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Matthew
