Sounds like glass fragments against the pump impeller. This may jam the impeller and reduce water pump volume giving poor wash performance and possible inability to evacuate the wash tub. It will not go away and may cause the impeller to fail. Remove screens and get the glass out. Do not poke around with your fingers unless you like cuts.

Whirlpool gold quiet partner 111 is noisy during the whole cycle

Some dishwashers have soft food disposals. If something gets in this disposal that will not dissolve such as bone, pop corn kernels, broken glass. This will make noise throughout the cycle. Sometimes after many cycles it will grind itself away. Otherwise service would be needed if you don’t know how to get inside the pump.

Gold model GU1200. Is there a filter module and, if so, how do I get access to clean it?

The location is shown as #17 on page 5 of your owner's manual. You may need a magnifying glass to see where the "line" is pointing to, but it does show it in the bottom of the machine. See link below:

8 yr old GU1200 stopped mid cycle - no apparent reason - no response to buttons - appears dead?

These dishwashers have a thermal fuse in the control panel. If it overheats for some reason (sometimes a bad connection on the fuse itself causes that)it will turn whole machine off.
  1. Disconnect power to dishwasher. Remove screws holding the control panel from the side of the inner door. Remove control panel. If it does not come off - remove all screws on the inner side of the door and separate the inner and outer door.
  2. Fuse is on the right side on top of the control board. it usually has tan or black or yellow wires to it. Disconnect wires and check fuse for continuity. if none - replace fuse. Here is your part
Good luck

Whirlpool Gold model GU1200 will not start wash cycle

FYI, for anyone else with the same symptoms. I took mine apart and found that the seal on the motor shaft failed and over time corroded the motor shaft bearing causing it to failed. I ordered full motor assembly from the parts store.
