New dishwasher.. excess water coming up to overflow??
-
Graham Plumbing Services on Jun 08, 2013The air gap ("overflow") is clogged and not working properly. this is pretty common. I'm not sure about where you live because codes are different but here they now allow us to remove the over flow and loop the dishwasher up behind the sink higher than the disposer and this will definitely stop this from happening. You can put a soap dispenser or something where the air gap was. If codes do not permit you to do this then you will need to replace or clean out the air gapHelpful Reply

Albert Nahman Plumbing & Heating on Jun 10, 2013It is a Code in California to have an airgap. Make sure that the 5/8" dishwasher discharge hose to the airgap, the airgap itself and the 7/8" return hose to the disposer is free of debris and not kinked. It is likely caused by any one of these issues.Helpful Reply
