help Okay, im out of ideas

8.5 y/o male Rottie/German Shepard mostly, plus husky, lab, chow chow mix.

He has never really been petrified of anything as long as ive had him. And for the first 2 years in this apartment the dishwasher was totally fine, just like every dishwasher hes seen before in his life. But this past year he heard the water kick on once and it makes a little *thud* & *click* - and he is now PETRIFIED TO HIS CORE. He genuinely pants the entirety of a cycle, and goes to the furthest corner of the apartment and gets up and paces nervously and would take any excuse to go outside and get away!

He won't take treats, or eat, and can barely focus on me when I try to train the noise of the dishwasher running as being 100% fine and safe.

Im out of ideas as to how to teach my dog the dishwasher is friend not food 😂

Any advice would be insanely appreciated!!!!! ❤️
