Attempting to cut the screws ruined my wire cutters! Did I use the wrong type?
I tried returning this broken wire cutter to Sears but they didn't have the EXACT same number ... what good is that supposed "lifetime" warranty!
Anyway, the screws don't seem to do anything now that the plastic in the top of the dishwasher is broken where they did go in.
Apparently what happened before we bought the house is that the remodelers screwed the dishwasher in from the top of the then-wood counter before tiling over the countertop, sealing the top of the screws.
When I lowered the legs of the dishwasher to get it out of its cubbyhole, the dead weight downward ripped the screws out of the plastic in the top of the dishwasher leaving ragged holes but no other damage.
So, at this point, the screws don't do anything. I will try to find the bracket and put that in to hold the dishwasher. That seems like the best approach recommended.
