Hi, so about 1-2 months ago our dishwasher which we've had as a second owner for about 5-6 years has started making a loud vibrating sound at the start of the cycle and it's started to not clean the dishes properly, especially the top rack is getting basically no cleaning. We've tried everything so today I finally took it out and this is what I see. I saw a kink in the silver braided cord that I got rid of, thought that might fix it and started it up, but unfortunately it's still making the sound.

The sound seems to be coming from the black motor, because if I push on it a bit while it's happening the sound stops, so it's the motor thing vibrating making it. There's also quite a lot of gunk in the thicker see-through hose, so I'm guessing that could be related.

I'm a pretty handy person that likes fixing stuff around the house instead of replacing it and am confident I could figure out doing something like changing a hose, so if anyone here has any tips with this stuff on what I can do it would be much appreciated!
