LG Dishwasher Making Noise? Causes & Fix
Most likely the specific sound names the part: grinding means debris in the direct-drive wash-pump impeller, a continuous hum with no water means that impeller is jammed and the motor is straining, a rattle means a loose QuadWash spray arm, and a high whine points to a failing pump bearing.
