Help! I feel so pathetic as I’m sure I’ve done this before but has anyone removed the black plastic wash-cycle pump protector from dishwasher filter? Was cleaning due to drainage issues and now I can’t put it back on again.
Everything I’ve tried ie manual,YouTube,ChatGPT all just say this must never be removed..I know!! But I have removed it,don’t want to call an engineer for this especially over the weekend 🥲

I’m no help with the repair, but you don’t have to call an engineer over the weekend - go old school and wash the dishes by hand!!

Besides, when my dishwasher broke it took about 3 weeks to get an appointment, granted that was over Christmas.

I think you should do a thread with a more specific title. Someone will know.
