I have been having some noise on 2 meters, making it harder to hear the satellites in certain directions, and I have finally traced it down to the new dishwasher we bought a few months ago. It is a Frigidaire Galley Model number FGID2468UF1A (in case you want to avoid this model).  

I tried wrapping the power cord, which is a flat, about an inch wide 3 pronged AC cord through a rectangle torrid I have on hand that would split in half for easier access.  I could fit 2 turns of the cord through it.  That didn't make a difference.  I have a larger ring torrid but the plug on the cord is a little too large to fit through it.  I am sure I could get a larger diameter torrid if I thought it would work.

So, what is the best plan of attack on the RFI-other than just unplugging the dishwasher when I am not using it.  I can probably only get 2 or 3 turns max through a ring torrid due to the length of the cord.  Is this the best solution for RFI, or what other methods can I try?
