Dishwasher Draining on Countertop

09/12/2003 09:33 AM mgardiner

Everytime my dishwasher drains, the majority of the water ends up on the my countertop, via the air gap. I have pulled the air gap apart, (no blockage), and I have replaced the discharge hose from the air gap to the disposal. Neither has helped. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Did you check to see if the dishwasher knock out was completely removed from the garbage disposal?

That would be a prime candidate if the disposal (or whole installation) is new. Check the disposals installation instructions.

Other than that, the problem may be a clog in the disposal or the drain system after that.
