Make sure that the plug on your garbage disposal was popped out or you connect the hose. If you didn’t new install fence one thing you can check and then if it’s not working, you may need a new pump for the dishwasher or you may have like a piece of glass caught in the fan. Good luck thanks for watching. Happy holidays.

What about crud further down the hose? Does it all accumulate near the disposal?

@TomLeeman Жыл бұрын

Usually but it could get clogged and other spots which means you could replace the whole hose

@SantosSantos-bf5sz Жыл бұрын

@@TomLeeman replaced disposal, my dw hose looked about like yours, rest of pipes were filthy. Everything seems to be draining fine, now.

I thought the same thing so I used a turkey bastor and water and shot water in it. I just had a big bowl to catch all the water and crud.

My dishwasher isn’t draining, I disconnected the drain hose from the disposal and from the pump under the dishwasher. When I blow into the disposal end it seems 100% clogged, I can’t blow at all.

Oh, your hose connection comes off “nice and easy”…how cute. What about when it’s as tight as prom night and the it’s a rigid hose (not flexible)?

@TomLeeman Жыл бұрын

And it’s definitely gonna take some elbow grease to get that thing off. You may want to replace it with one. That’s more flexible if it’s been on there for a while they get really stuck and you got a pull pretty hard and it’s not a very big space to be working in so it makes it even more difficult. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

I put a chopstick through one of the holes at the edge of the mesh filter at the bottom of my dishwasher and it detects about 1 inch deep water there. Is it normal? Or should it be totally dry there?

@TomLeeman 7 ай бұрын

Well, there may be some water down in there, but it should all clear out when it drains

@donklaing Жыл бұрын

Never knew garbage went through there?

@TomLeeman Жыл бұрын

Yeah, those in the garbage disposal and then down the sewer

I followed the same however there was no clogging in my hose or garbage disposal on opening. Any further suggestions for me to look into? My dishwasher is Samsung and keeps draining water and then gives the 3 blinking lights.

I will have to research that I’m not familiar with the Samsung thanks for watching

And what if the clog is further down the line? What if the clog is nearer to the dishwasher than the sink?

@TomLeeman 8 ай бұрын

Another solution would be to purchase a new hose that goes from the dishwasher to the garbage disposal

@@TomLeeman I removed the entire hose and made sure it was clear with my garden hose. It's still not draining. Does that pretty much mean it's the pump?

How do I drain the dishwasher that has a good amount of water in it?

@TomLeeman 3 ай бұрын

You could use a shop vac to pull the water out. I had to do that once when I was repairing my dishwasher.

@excellentmassagecare 2 жыл бұрын

The hose is connected high to the sink. Mine goes down to the bottom , goes through a hole to connect to behind dishwasher…?

@TomLeeman 2 жыл бұрын

I think it doesn’t matter as long as you’ve got it connected to the right spot on the garbage disposal and the dishwasher itself and it’s not pinched good luck with your project thanks for watching

Where dose the flex hose traveling up go?

@TomLeeman Жыл бұрын

That’s the outflow that goes to the garbage disposal and then out to the sewer. That’s where the water comes out.

@kingmanta7679 Жыл бұрын

It goes back to the dishwasher pump. It rises out of the garbage disposal per code.some states have to use an air gap system.
