I bought this dish washer a month ago and it has an awful high pitch noise from the motor. We had the GE repair man come out and he said the sound is normal for these dishwashers. My husband and I have been married almost 20 years and have never had a dishwasher that was bothersome. The pitch feels like ringing in your ears or taking off in an airplane. My children and husband complain about the high pitch motor. I don't like being home when I run the dishwasher. We wish we would have purchased a different brand and a different dishwasher. It was frusterating that once you purchased the dishwasher and had it installed, there was nothing that could be done, other then have a repair man come out. Regretting this purchase everyday!
