Not 100% sure about the age of the machine, but it is fairly old.
Symptoms: No drainage at all. I have manually drained it and tried finding clogs in the line that connects to the plumbing under my sink. Nothing there, so I start a new normal wash cycle and the tub fills up with water. Once the filling is complete and the machine is about to start washing, a loud buzzing/grinding noise appears and the machine stops. If you press the cancel/drain button, it tries to drain but a loud grinding noise comes from underneath until you stop it. If I look at the motor on the bottom, a couple droplets of water can be seen coming off the motor and onto the floor.
I've tried taking it apart from inside (taking the rotating arm off and everything) but the black plastic impeller piece with the one 1/4in screw in the middle is stuck. I cant get a firm grip on it and it's starting to strip the plastic.
I need help on how to fix this myself, as I have roommates coming to live with me so we will need a dishwasher for that. Any help is appreciated!
