OMG... i think i have to do this, but my hose is probably up top... its behind the sink bowl... so i probably have to pull the damn dishwasher out... ugh....
Your drain hose you just cleaned needs a higher than the disposal drain loop. If the sink where the disposal is gets stopped up, that water where the hog blades are can siphon back into the dishwasher. Simple gravity issue. Need to have your hose HIGHER than the hog water inlet.
It appeared to me that if you poured water into the discharge end of the hose, that water would not easily flow back to the dishwasher. Why do I that. It looks like from the discharge end of the hose the hose goes up and then down to that low entry point in the cabinet. Since your are pouring water at lower point than the highest point of the drain pipe, I don't think it would make it to the dishwasher.
Thank you SO much for this video. I’m not sure how long it had been since our dishwasher had been cleaned/serviced/etc (probably never- we’re in a rental). It eventually stopped draining and your tip of using the hanger worked out perfectly. There ended up being several layers of calcification in the drain hose!!! Saved me a call to the landlord for them to eventually get a plumber out to my house (I didn’t want to wait or have to be here to meet them, ha!). Thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you! I have officially learned that my dishwasher drain is NOT the problem. It's the little copper and blue pipe that's leaking. Water intake? 🤷.
