    Dishwasher Overflow
    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:

    Hey Darcy,

    In new garbage disposals there's a "knock-out" plug located just inside the connection where the dishwasher hose connects. This plug MUST be knocked out and removed from the disposal before connecting the hose. Check to see if it's been removed. Good luck, Tom
