Just for grins I've been sound-dampening a late 80's Hotpoint
dishwasher model HDA467 - 02WH using acoustic ceiling panels and
carpet applied to both the space the machine occupies and the exterior
of the machine, also sandwiched inside the machine door.
So far the results are good, but what I find makes a big additional
difference is blocking the recessed space at the bottom in front of
the access panel - just loosely laying a piece of acoustic panel
across it makes a big difference. Blocking off the areas on the side
of this bottom area makes even more of a difference.
However, before I make a piece to block off this bottom area, I wonder
what the air circulation requirements of the motor likely are. Would
blocking off this area cause it to overheat?
Thanks.
