    Dishwater backs up sink

    It seem that you have a blockage.
    Do this. Dip the water out of the sink and remove the trap. Send a snake up in 6the wall, (see image). You will hut a bend about 8 inches in but once past that you only have 6 more feet to go. After reassembling flush the linem out with a basin full of hot water. Good luck, Tom
