Dishwasher not working!glasses got broken inside I took out whatever pieces i could see from the base inside?

Question

but when I started it next time the machine made a loud crunching noise and just hums now .The water is also not spraying out from the top only collects at the bottom and drains out if I press rinse cycle only. Is it the broken glass thats jamming some parts?? Appreciate any advice !

Answer 1

You need to remove the strainer, you will find more glass pieces in it. The spray arms also need to be removed and cleaned. (coat hanger) Use a small paint brush to brush the areas to find the glass pieces. There is a probability that glass is also in the pump

Answer 2

The humming sound means the motor that normally turns the pump that sprays the water out the post and pumps the water out the drain, is not turning. It's most likely got a large chunk of glass wedged in one of the vanes of the fan. The only way to access the drain area is to completely dissassemble the center filter and post in the bottom and get a wet pickup shop vac to suction out what ever got stuck in there. Be very careful about sticking fingers in there as the glass particles can be very sharp. If you can get it all out, then put it back together and try it. If it still doesn't turn, you'll need to dissassemble it again and then pull the unit out from under the counter and turn it over, so you can remove the motor assembly. You can then SEE as well as feel, to tell if there's more in the drain area. Check the motor to see if it turns freely and then test it out again.

Answer 3

Every dishwasher has a small grinder, so it is called. Actually it is usually a plate with small holes in it, and an arm of some kind that pushes soft particles through the holes. If the glass made it through this plate and did stop the motor, then you will probably want to replace the pump and motor. It is sold as an assembly, one piece. If it is not pumping then it is stuck. buying a pump is the best way unless you cannot afford one then you can remove the pump and try to free it up. Most likely you will be buying a pump and motor assy. Good luck.

Answer 4

sounds like you have glass loged in the pump dont run it tell you can get it fixed
you need to take the pump out unless it is a fixed modle then you need to contact a repair man
if you can and are able to you can do it your self it is really easy

first take the dishwasher out of the cabnet shut off the water un plug the washer locate the pump most of the time there in the back disconnect the hoses and the electircal lines get a new one and put it in the same way you took out the old one replace any worn hoses you dont want it to pop after you put it back in and always test it befor you put it back in the cabinet
