-   Same here. Noisy even disassembled down to lower impeller. Bearings feel nice and tight and smooth, not loose or gritty feeling like a bad bearing.-   Dwg1

Stopped working mid-cycle. Now just makes a louder-than-usual noise (pump?) when the door is shut and a cycle is selected (any cycle), and nothing is happening inside.I checked the filter and it was clean. Noise is similar to normal startup sound, but much louder (unit is normally very quiet). When the unit first started, it seemed to be working fine (I stopped it a few minutes in - but prior to the release of the detergent - to add a dish, and it seemed normal at that point - hot water splashing around), but later on (several hours later) my wife noticed it was making a repetitive, unusual noise, so she stopped it. When I checked it several hours later (after this was brought to my attention), the unit was cool and mostly dry inside, but dishes were unwashed and detergent unreleased. When the unit is closed, it makes the loud (pump?) sound, but no apparent action inside. Noise will continue indefinitely. My wife says it's not the same noise it was making when she stopped it earlier (no more description of that noise, unfortunately).
