Possible Causes

Foreign object in wash pump, Worn pump bearings, Loose pump mounting, Cavitation due to low water level

Safety first: Isolate power and allow water to cool before accessing the sump.

Check for foreign objects: Remove filters and inspect the pump intake for glass, cutlery, or other debris. Remove carefully.
Verify water level: Ensure the tank fills to the correct level; low level can cause cavitation noise.
Listen after cleaning: Run a cycle and listen. Persistent grinding usually indicates worn bearings and the pump should be replaced.
Secure pump: Check that the pump mounting brackets and screws are tight to prevent vibration.
