The inside ends of those two rubber plugs will often hang up on the basket drive block, which is part number 11 in the drawing.
Sometimes if you pull up the basket hard and fast enough, it will bounce past the grommets and come out, or the grommets will grab the drive block and lift it out along with the tub. You can indeed take the grommets out and the obstruction should be gone. They may be a bit dried out or coated with debris and be difficult to re-install. I've seen debate about whether these are necessary to keep, but I like to put them back wherever possible. Good luck! Gordon |
