Do you hear a gulping or whirring sound when the dishwasher drains water through the drain hose?
Causes and Symptom
- The drain hose has become narrow as a result of the entry of foreign objects.
- A drain pump is operating.
The water used in washing dishes in the dishwasher goes through the drain hose and the drain pipe to the sewer.
At this time, if foreign objects build up in the drain pipe, the pipe will be narrowed and thus water flow to the sewer will be obstructed.
Specifically, water gathered in a sharp bend of the pipe may make a gulping sound when it passes.
In addition, the drain pump may make a whirring sound when it pumps water.

If you hear a loud gulping sound or see that the sink drains water slower than usual, clean the drainpipe with a specialized tool or cleaner.
In this case, you can reduce the noise by adjusting the length of the drain pipe.
Contact a plumbing service to have the drain pipe extended.
