dsrtaoDishwashers: there's a lot of complication around a motor that pumps water.
Dishwashers have an inflow port (to which you screw a brass 90-degree nozzle, then screw the water hose to the nozzle); an exhaust port (uses a hose clamp that needs good strong pliers to hold open) and a power connection (7th grade shop lamp wiring techniques).
It looks like nearly all the sound level is controlled by the over-the-top sound insulation and the front kick-panel insulation. Get those wrong and it will be much louder. Getting it right is aided by slapping a piece of packing tape on each side to join the back insulation to the side insulation.
Check the length of the legs before you put it in. If they are too long, it won't go in properly. If it goes almost all the way in but then jams, check the smoothness of the top insulation first (a spatula can help) and then reduce the length of the front legs.
Know which circuit breaker you're turning off way before you actually do it.
