PostHeaderIcon How do I clear out what I think is broken glass from my Maytag dishwasher?


My Dishwasher makes a clicking & grinding sound when running through the wash cycle. It doesn’t do it all the time & it still washes the dishes well. I did find some broken glass in the dishwasher, and I am guessing a smaller piece is caught somewhere and is causing the noise. Can I remove it or should I wait and see if it works itself out?

You may need a torx screwdriver to remove part of the sump assembly to gain access to the broken glass. T20 and/or T25 should work.

    See if your vacuum cleaner hose will fit down in there. Maybe you can suck it out; trying to reach it with your hand could cause injuries.
