It usually costs a lot less to have a noisy appliance checked and
serviced before it stops working... might just be a worn belt, not an
expensive repair, but when a belt lets go it can cause serious damage
to other parts, can destroy linkages and wire harnesses... may rip a
hose causing major flood damage. I'd not use that dishwasher before
you have a service tech check it out... I promise it's not going to
repair itself by ignoring it, it will get worse. And generally
replacement belts and hoses are a better quality than factory
installed... if while the tech is there making repairs I suggest you
ask him to replace the hoses with heavy duty ones. When I bought my
new dishwasher I had it installed by the Maytag guy, the tech asked if
I wanted him to swap the factory hoses for heavy duty hoses, for $30 I
agreed to pay for the kit, I could easily see the difference in hoses,
the originals looked like cheap garden hoses, the new ones were
stainless steel belted, a no brainer. The tech didn't want the
factory hoses, he suggested I put them in the trash, I did. So far
it's been ten years, the Maytag dishwasher works perfectly. New
appliances are like new automobiles, the manufacturer uses the
cheapest components; crap tires, two year batteries, micky mouse
belts/hoses, the least expensive brake pads, every component designed
to last just as long as the warranty... even the windshield wipers
fall apart before a year. If you paid good money for your dishwasher
and it's making weird noises call the tech now.
