  Hi,

  It is probably the carriage motor, if it is a grinding sound as the carriage travels back and forth and it may stop for a while then come back it is most likely one of the bearings in the motor.
  The motor will be around the £300 mark, if you do any of your own maintenance it is not too difficult to change.
