Default Sounds like bearings
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: gu11ooxtlq1
Age: 1 - 4 years

The dishwasher sounds like the bearings are grinding. No glass has broken. The water fills up quietly. The pump drains the water quietly. When the rinse cycle starts the noise is almost deafening. I took apart everything inside the tub down to the grinder. I then ran a rinse cycle to see if this might loosen up something that might be stuck. No change. Any suggestions? Thank you

I have the same problem with my Whirpool GU3200 XTPQ
Trying to find a solution ... It seems like a wash motor problem ...

Pull the kick panel off and look for water leaking on the motor. If so you have a bad seal and destroyed motor bearings=new motor/pump time.
