Hello.

I have a kitchenaid washing machine. Recently it began making a
buzzing noise before a cycle or before the spin cycle. It happens
when
the water is filling into the machine.

Thinking that my fill hoses were old (approx 4 years), I replaced
them.
After replacing, the noise remained.

If the noise starts, I can stop the washer and restart and the noise
will end.

The noise sounds similar to the sound you get when you release air
from
a balloon (high pitched).
Any ideas?

thanks

Hi,

Model#?

Some model# helps.

Definetly have a listen to the area where the hot and cold hoses are
attached to the washer, if the noise is in that area the fill valve is
common for making a buzz/hummmm type of an noise.
But, there could be other trouble area's....dispensor solenoids/etc
depending on the model#/style.
