Definitely NOT the water inlet valve... "Sounds like" a pump impeller, plastic grinding?

That's my exact same thought.   Sure sounds like a piece of glass or other foreign object grinding down the wash motor impeller.

Thanks very much for your assessments.  I will follow that idea up.  Presumably, the fact that this noise doesn't predictably occur on every cycle could be consistent with a slightly loose object that is not always in the same position?

That would make sense.

Congratulations to you two Sherlocks.  The mystery has been resolved!

I took out the dishwasher's circulation pump and remove the impellor, which was in two separate halves, instead of being a single unit!

I have attached some pictures, which show the situation. (Sorry, I couldn't seem to attach more than one image).  My impression is that the plastic overlying the (now visible) pegs locking the two halves of the impellor together has eroded away, allowing them to separate. 

The actual origin of the noise is still a bit of a mystery, since there is no sign within the circulation pump housing that any friction to the housing has occurred.  It seems unlikely that the two halves have been spinning separately, since perhaps you would expect the "pegs" to have sheared off, if  the outside component had been spinning and then "catching"..... Perhaps the sound was the two pieces "chattering", without actually separating.  Who knows!

New impellor coming!  Thanks again for your interest and expert assistance.

Regards,

Peter
