I have a kenmore dishwasher (fridgedaire manufacturer) During the wash cycle it makes a loud buzzing or vibrating noise.
I ran the dishwasher empty and there is no noise. Any ideas why this is happening?

Only during the washing mode and not during the drain out mode?

Yes only during the washing mode

This unit has 2 motor and pumps, one for washing only and one for draining only. Since the noise only occurs when in the washing mode and not in the draining mode the wash motor and pump assembly is the suspect. Sometimes the impellor breaks on the shaft and we get a whining noise, sometimes the impellor moves and rubs the housing, sometimes the motor just buzzes loudly when running.
