Mine is two years old and sounds like there is something alive inside and trying to get out. Maybe whatever it is woke up when it saw the light coming through the three holes that rusted clean through the "stainless steel" construction.
I came across a video on YouTube a few weeks ago of a Canadian TV show investigating the fact that all new appliances are junk not made to last more than a couple of years. The biggest culprits were American brands like Kenmore, Maytag, and GE.
