First open the valve as it may be why the dishwasher is not filling.

The issue may be with the float or the float switch. Contact the original manufacturer or hire a professional in order to fix the problem.

The water may be leaking due to the crack. Replace the pipe to fix the issue.

This is not an issue as most dishwashers will make some noise.

The garbage already inside may be the issue. You may first clean the inside and make sure there is no grease, food particles or other debris inside the washer.

Change your detergent as it is a significant part of a dishwasher.
