Why is my dishwasher draining out of the drain air gap?
The rubber hose leading from your airgap to your garbage disposal or drain pipe is propably plugged. Remove hose and clean or replace. Also, when you remove the hose leading from the airgap to the garbage disposal, check to ensure that your stopper plug is removed from the garbage disposal. The stopper plug is a metal or rubber plug placed in the garbage disposal for people that don't have a dishwasher. The best way to remove this plug is by taking a screwdriver and placing it on the plug and gently tapping the butt of the screwdriver with a hammer until the plug pops out. Use metal fingers to remove the plug from the upper hopper chamber of the garbage disposal or (if you are daring enough) remove with your hands.
Why does your garbage disposal backup in your dishwasher?
A garbage disposal can back up into your dishwasher due to a clog in the drain line or a blockage in the air gap or sink drain. When food waste accumulates in the disposal, it can prevent proper drainage, causing water to flow back into the dishwasher. Additionally, if the disposal is not functioning properly or is overloaded, it may fail to grind food waste effectively, leading to backups. Regular maintenance and cleaning of both the disposal and dishwasher can help prevent this issue.
