Our 6 yr.? LG Disherwasher sounds like it is ready to quit, but still cleaning and washing effectively. Yesterday, mid way through the washing cylce I heard a noise that did not sound normal. The cycle finished and everything looked clean. Today, I decided to try again, and the noise is even louder, but I can hear the water action that seems normal as it washes.

What could be the problem? I replaced the heating element about six months ago and was very happy with the results. I was still having a problem with the start up since I had to flip the circuit breaker everytime, even though it would not actually trip it. It the power light was not turning off at the end of the cylce, but I would hear the little bell chime off and on for about an hour after the cylce completed, then eventually the power would shut off before I would go to use it again, thus the trip to the circuit breaker.

Any suggestions? -Frustrated with hopes of having my dishwasher in operation for festivities forthcoming.

The hum is constant during the washing cycle. I cannot pinpoint it, but would suspect it is from the motor.
