Interesting sound, It could be a number of things, probably Nunn easy to fix. I think I would just keep using it until something goes wrong and then decide then whether it’s something fixable, there’s really only one part on these washers were replacing and that’s the water pump maybe the belt...

The fill volume should be between one and 2 gallons, the complete floor of the dishwasher should be covered with water to at least some degree if you open the door. If you think the dishwasher is getting too little water, try adding another half gallon of hot water and see how it sounds if it...

Hi Mark, it looks fine to me, there is always a slight gap, is this a whirlpool or a Kenmore model? Hopefully it’s in good shape. We have lots of parts for these if it has any difficulties. The calypso is one machine I am endeavoring to never be without. It’s a really fun machine for really...
