    Dishwasher overflow
    My dishwasher empties part of its water through the overflow. I assume there is a blockage, would any of the supermarket drainage unblockers work? Should this be used down the overflow or garbage disposal. Or do I need to get a plumber in? I hear that coke is great at blockages, any thoughts on any of the above remedies.
    Thanks

    Start with checking the water pump. Most probably there is some blockage there. Just clean it .

My son recently installed a new garbage disposal for me, since that time our dishwasher is draining into the sink out of the air gap. The flow is so much that it is flooding the counter top. What did we do wrong? Did we need to drain the air gap hose? :eek:
