I just had a service guy fix the very same problem. These machines cannot handle debris bigger than a small olive pit. These items simply accumulate at a grid that protects the macerator until they block the water flow. You have to unscrew the disc at the bottom of the machine (beneath the bottom swing arm) to get at it. Older machines had an easily removable debris basket. You popped it out, dumped the debris in the garbage and replaced it. Some bonehead decided to dispense with that. I'm told the Europeans have gone back to the old-style removable debris basket. A real no-brainer.
