  Dr. Erin WaltersAug 27, 2025
  A noisy Samsung dishwasher could be due to several reasons: * The sound may be normal operation when the dispenser cover opens and the drain pump operates early in the cycle. * Make sure the dishwasher is level. * If there is foreign material in the pump chamber, contact a qualified service technician to remove it. * Rearrange the dishes if a nozzle is bumping against them, creating a 'chopping' sound.
