The dishwasher began squealing during the initial phase of washing and at times during the middle. Sure sounds like a pump squeal. Its been doing this for a while but it sounding louder. More than likely it will fail at some point. I want to be sure what I need to replace before I just order a new pump. I am not sure if there is a pump that fills the washer because the noise happens immediately when hitting Start and a few times after. There is no squealing during the wash cycle and the dishes are getting clean with plenty of water evidence after the wash is complete.
Are there more than one pump in a dishwasher? If so which one would be the done that operates at the very beginning?
Trying to do research on this washer I am seeing a circulation pump and "pump and motor assembly". Same thing? I also saw it might be the water inlet valve with a bad diaphragm.
