My dishwasher is making a very loud continuous noise during the wash cycle. I've taken apart the wash arm parts and cleaned them and the screens. Nothing seemed to be accumulated. At this part I'm guessing that it's the sump or motor? Any thoughts on the noise and which part may need to be replaced?

OK, took the whole dishwasher apart. Got the pump and motor out. Went thru everything I cannot find any clogs or loose parts. The only area I can't really inspect is enclosed in plastic where the loose particles go thru the grinder before discharging. I've spun the grinder and doesn't feel hung up or catching on anything. I guess at this point it's the motor itself making the noise? Just to recap no noise when filling and draining just when wash cycle is on. Is this normal/uncommon for an electric motor to make a loud grinding noise but still seem to function OK. Dishes are coming clean and everything just load as heck when washing.
