If when you first start the cycle on your dishwasher and you hear a rattle or grinding noise it's likely because there's an object caught in the machine's drain pump. This pump runs for a few seconds at the start of a cycle in order to drain the tub and also periodically throughout the cycle.
In my case a sliver of bone was caught in there, making a sound like a small stone being rattled inside a plastic box. It didn't go away after a week so I figured out how to access the drain pump.
Kudos to this video • Samsung dishwasher gri... for the concept. Thankfully this model lets you access the pump from the side of the machine. Please unplug your machine before sticking your hand in there!
Also, I will note that the insulation blanket goes under that right-hand metal access panel, not over it as I had it arranged in the video.
