I thought that the water jets were hitting some unstable object. Emptied it and reran it, same noise. So I check the rotating arms. The top one is fine, but the lower one has play in it. To be more specific, it has vertical play in it, I can lift it about 1/2 in. Is that normal? I know that that is where the noise is coming from. Any help will be appreciated.

Check the filter sump #508 at diagram#1 and inlet sump#505 at diagram#4 for any small objects (Pits, bones,etc.) Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric GLD6860N00SS Dishwasher \| AppliancePartsPros.com Good luck. Post the results. Simon.
