Whirlpool made excellent dishwasher s too. We had an old kitchenaid that lasted for many years over 30 years left it to the new owners when we sold the house. We had a similar whirlpool dishwasher in our new home. I believe it was a 90s model.
My similar late 90s Whirlpool made a similar noise. I got a pump rebuild kit, and after the easy install, the noise was gone. The older mechanical whirlpool dishwashers are great machines.
I've seen new GFI's die for no apparent reason. I found some brand new commercial-grade ones at a habitat store a few years ago. So far so good. As far as dishwashers go, we replace one some 20 years old with a Kenmore model from K-Mart that was around 250 dollars some 5 years ago. It won't sting as much when it fails.
Pump cavitating causing vibration possibly due to not quite filling correctly. There could be some kind of damage to the pump impeller also. This was a workhorse in whirlpool’s and was generally a builders grade model in new homes for decades. Only beef I ever had with them is if a leak forms around the pump housing it’s usually destroyed the motor by the time it’s caught in this configuration. Not my favorite vintage platform, but whatever floats ones boat. Looks like a lower hour machine as well and that’s why it’s survived this long.
The tag on the inside edge of the door says it has the power clean module that grinds up scraps and that it could make a grinding noise when functioning. Perhaps that's what your noise is. I have a slightly newer model.. it's been in the house since we bought it in 1994 and still going strong. The house was built in 87. The inside of the unit is the same as yours but mine doesn't have the tag so not sure if it has that power clean function.
I believe 1994 was the year the eco fascists started dialing down how much water your dishwasher was allowed to use. So anything made before then ought to do a proper job.

I was about to graduate high school when that thing was built

If it's loud, that means it's working to me. I'll take that over any of this Chinese garbage made today.
Absolutely right! The new ones sound like gentle ponds because they don't clean! They take for hours!

I swear everything’s made of press’d crap these days. One guy craps, the other guy takes the crap and presses parts out of it.

Tree huggers always ruin everything
3:37 my microwave makes a similar sound
does it have door springs so it doesn't flop open?
They hadn't arrived when I made the video.
