Today we got the repairman out from the store where we bought the 
dishwasher. The dishes were not being cleaned and I let the XYL do the 
complaining. I was in the ham shack and when the repairman started up the 
dishwasher after working on it over an hour there was no QRN. I asked him 
what he did and he said in the last part of 2004 they changed the design and 
used a motor with brushes in it. This motor prevented the cycles from 
changing properly and the fix was to install one of the older motors that 
did not have brushes. My noise level is now S1 instead of 10 DB over S9 so I 
am happy and having the rest of the cycles operating should do a better job 
on the dishes.

Glad to have this problem behind me.
