A spider crawled into the pot, got fried, thump, then debris in the pot, noisy.
Anything's possible, I would definitely do two things before I packed it up and sent it in:
1. remove covers, look carefully everywhere, any discoloration, trace of anything??? you can take photos of anything suspect to email to someone. you can take photos to show no problems/rule things out also. might help narrow down the problem.
2. contact cleaner/lubricant on all the volume controls/balance ...., all pots inside. Spray, rotate, spray, rotate, swish em full spin frequently.
