How can I work out why a new dishwasher is vibrating against a cabinet?
Confirm the dishwasher is level, transport restraints removed and side clearance adequate; fit manufacturer-specified anti-vibration pads if needed.
Why this approach makes sense
Identify when the sound happens and isolate one possible source at a time. Pipe, motor and building noises can travel well beyond their point of origin.
Before you try it
Do not dismantle electrical or pressurised systems to diagnose an intermittent noise; record the pattern before seeking repairs.
