We have small pieces of broken glass in our drain. We unscrewed 3 screws but still can't get the thing off.

The draining is done by a small plastic impeller in the bottom of the dishwasher. Look for a screen in the bottom that is screwed down. Removing the screen should give you access to the impeller. In my case, a small piece of broken glass slipped past the screen and jambed the plastic impeller.

Problem might be that one end of the spring sits on a small black piece of plastic which has popped out of position. I have NOT tried to actually fix the problem, yet, but just removed the bulb so that the battery doesn't drain.
3 screws need to be removed to see the black piece:

1. With a very-thin, flat screwdriver CAREFULLY pry the lens-cover off; I don't suggest trying this if you can't do it gently since you might crack the cover. If you then look upward in the center of the uncovered area, you will see the screw that needs to be removed.
2. Drop down the "sun-glasses compartment" and you will see the remaining 2 screws that need to be removed.

Finally, carefully disconnect at least 1 of the electrical harnesses.

You should see the small, black plastic piece in its correct position on the properly functioning light switch.

Good Luck!

You've got a broken piece of glass or something holding the drain valve open.
Solenoid operates the valve to drain water from dishwasher into drain line.
When power shuts off to solenoid...valve closes.
If valve is blocked by a piece of glass or toothpick or a sliver of bone...it can't close and draining water from disposal or sink can back flow into dishwasher.

I had a piece of glass caught in mine.

Hope this helps...

OK dude, I have been doing hours of research for the same problem with mine. Here is the deal - you can do this WITHOUT having to remove the entire headliner. 1. open sunshade 2. remove plastic covers form the 4 lift hinges for the glass. 3. unscrew bolts for hinges - take careful note of the amount and position of all spacers for each of the 4 hinges (they may have different amounts - reinstall exactly as found). 4. carefully remove glass 5. move bracket back (via switch or hex-wrench_ about 4 in - you will see the "lift wedge" to the side of each bracket - they are each screwed into the rail with 2 small screws. 6. unscrew both lift wedges 7. slide mechanism (switch or hex-wrench back and forth until you see the little plastic part go by in the hole that you have just uncovered - voila!. you will likely see/find bits of broken plastic from the pieces that you are replacing. 8. while you are there thoroughly clean out the gutters and insure drainage holes are clear avoid grease, since that adds to the muck in there. 9. remove the old and drop in the new replacement pieces using needlenose pliers - note the pieces are asymetrical and have a particular left and right side- install correctly, narrow part towards the rear. 10. test to make sure it is sliding correctly. 11. close fully, then reinstall glass, putting spacers back properly, re screwing (don't over tighten as you will break the glass - doh!) and replace hinge covers.
Drink a beer - you just saved yourself hundreds in labor costs.

hello am rico, no you cant, unscrew all the screws from the back and bottom front. should be able to open it. if you need more help let me know. 602-810-7149

Depending on the fan you have a couple possibilities. If the Glass has a knob, or metal piece in the center on the bottom then unscrew this to remove. If not, then Look at the top of the glass, where it meets the fan. If there are three, or four small screw you loosen these and the the glass will come off. If you see none, or just one, then the glass should either unscrew, or twist and unlock.

There is a small panel on the bottom left front of the washer with a tab on the top middle holding it onto the front of the washer. depress this tab with a small flathead screwdriver and the panel will open downward. You will now see a small round black piece on the left with a flat screw head on it, about an inch in diameter. unscrew this about a quarter of a turn and it will come out with a small hose attached. This is connected to the drain pump. Have a shop vac ready, pull the black plug out of the hose and this will drain the pump. The larger round piece on the right, about 3 inches in diameter is your drain pump. After draining all the water unscrew it with your hand. When you get this out it will have a screen attached which needs to be cleaned at least once a year.
Please rate this post. Thank You.

hold the twirling sprayer part and unscrew the big round nut part just above it, then you will see a 3/8 nut,remove it and sprayer arm will come off

THERE IS A SMALL INSPECTION COVER OVER THE PUMP UNDERNEATH THE FILTERS IT IS REMOVED BY UNSCREWING A TORK 20 SCREW HOLDING IT IN PLACE THIS WHEN REMOVED WILL REVEAL DRAIN PUMP IMPELLOR SOMETHING IS JAMMING IT PROBABLY A PIECE OF BROKEN GLASS REMOVE PUMP SHOULD RUN AND APPLIANCE WORK.

HOPE THIS HELPS

In order to fix problem we disconnected dishwasher, put it on one of side, opened bottom cover - the one that is outside of dishwasher. We find out the part that is
connected to the drain horse. We take of 3 screw and open that part too. We discover
few small peices of glass that were preventing to rotate one plastic part of dishwasher. We removed that pieces of glass. Put all back and connected dishwasher. All was working fine. I am suggesting to everybidy try these steps before calling for any service.
