If there is water backing up through the garbage disposal or dishwasher turn off the faucet immediately and stop the disposal. Meanwhile, check if water is backing up through the garbage disposal itself or through the dishwasher. Turn on the cold water on the kitchen faucet and start the garbage disposal. As I have already mentioned, the dishwasher, garbage disposal and sink share the same drainpipe. To troubleshoot a dishwasher that is not draining, you need to first determine if the problem is isolated in the dishwasher or if it is affecting several fixtures.
How Do You Fix a Dishwasher that is not Draining? In some causes you could be dealing with a clogged main drain stack or even the sewer line, but that will affect all the drains in your house. When both the kitchen sink and dishwasher are backing up you have a clogged drain line especially the P-trap. If however the dishwasher is not draining at all, you will need to first remove the standing water and physically remove the clog. You can use baking soda and vinegar to unclog a slow draining dishwasher. It is also caused by the use of the wrong detergent, grease, mineral deposits and poor installation of the drain hose. The main reason your dishwasher keeps on clogging is failing to rinse off food scraps from dishes which causes a sludge, clogging the filter basket and/or drain hose. Remember that if your garbage disposal or sink drain line is clogged, draining the sink will have water backing up into your dishwasher unless you have an air gap. If the problems persists remove and clean the P-trap then flush the drain line using baking soda and vinegar solution. Disconnect the drain hose and blow air or snake it. Check if the filter is clogged or the drain pump impellers are jammed. To fix a dishwasher that is not draining, start by soaking up the standing water using a sponge. Disconnect the drain hose from the garbage disposal and knock out the plug with a hammer and punch/screwdriver. If you have a new dishwasher that is not draining, it is very possible that the garbage disposal knockout plug was not removed during installation of the dishwasher. It could also be caused by a kinked or poorly installed drain hose or a clogged garbage disposal/sink drain line. This is often caused by a clogged filter or drain hose, or jammed drain pump impellers. Standing water at the bottom of the dishwasher is a sign that it is not draining. If you notice water at the bottom of your dishwasher, the problem could be within the dishwasher or caused by a clogged garbage disposal or sink drain line.
The sink, garbage disposal and dishwasher therefore share the same drain line. Your dishwasher drains through a drain hose which is connected to the garbage disposal or directly to the kitchen sink drain line. Why is there standing water in the bottom of my dishwasher?
