Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 66513732K600
Main Symptom: loud noise
What happens & when: immediately after filling, when it starts to wash there is a loud noise. It continues making the noise for the majority of the rest of the time, only pausing occasionally.
Based on videos, I suspect it might be the water inlet valve or the washer pump.
Thank you for any assistance!!!

The inlet valve would only make the noise for a few seconds as it fills. If it is making the noise during the wash cycle, there may be something in the impeller causing the noise. Here is avideo on how to access the chopper blade area. W10083957V Dishwasher Food Chopper | Genuine Whirlpool OEM In Stock, if it’s clean, then you are looking at replacing the wash motor assembly.
Hi David,
What is the wash motor assembly called in your part store? I can’t see it.
Thank you!
There is also a video on how to change it out. WPW10780877 Pump And Motor Assembly | Genuine Whirlpool OEM In Stock
I accessed the chopper and cleaned things out. There was a toothbrick, brown glass and porcelain, candy wrapper, etc.
It still makes noise, but with less chunkiness.
I supposed that means I need to replace the wash motor assembly, however, I can’t find that part in your store. I see filter assembly, impeller, inlet assembly, drain pump, etc, but no wash motor assembly.
Does it go by another name?
