 dishwasher draining very loud
Author: Barb Dillon (Canada)

Hi all,
Just had my kitchen remodeled and had a plumber install new drains for our double sink and new dishwasher. First time we ran the dishwasher (during night) it woke the entire house when it started to drain. We ran to the kitchen thinking our kitchen must be flooded. No flood, but frightening noise level which could be heard throughout the house.
Any suggestions? Please help!

it depends on how the DW drain hose is attached to your under sink piping.
post a picture so we can see what was done and offer advice.

What kind of noise was it? Gurgling, whining, high pitched...etc. Was it loud noise like gurgling from a big volumne of water going through the air gap if you have one?

I had a similar complaint of a very loud, strained draining noise and water was accumulating a bit inside the dishwasher tub. I removed the filter and did a thorough cleaning. I found a lot of grease and gunk trapped inside for this customer and it took me about half an hour to clean everything. Worked great and quite after that. Just a thought.
