Dear Sensei,

After accessing the service manual on my Miele dishwasher family from this website a few weeks ago, I have had great success in sorting out a problem, but now, I sense that another might be about to emerge, and I would appreciate some advice.

Just after the dishwasher commences a cycle (when I think the initial water inlet is occurring), a loud and painful-sounding "groaning" noise can be heard, for a period of about 15-30 seconds.  The noise then stops, but it may occur later, again at a time in the cycle when new water is perhaps being loaded.  The machine is otherwise working perfectly.....at the moment.

I am assuming that this noise might relate to a water pump, and the subject of bearings comes to mind.  However, I am far from sure that this is the correct conclusion.  Can anyone offer an explanation, and any advice about what I can do about it myself?  I would be most grateful.

Sincerely,

Peter
