I am having the exact same issue that Lori had. It is STILL unresolved and I'm on my 3rd repairman. New retirement building, brand new dishwasher and disposal. Have never been able to use the DW, because it because it stops mid-cycle when the disposal overheats and trips the reset button. It is NOT just really warm because of hot water draining through, it's too hot to touch for more than a couple seconds. The first two repairmen would not stay for the whole cycle to really see what was happening. The 3rd repairman is doing his damnedest to figure it out, but he's from another complex and is only here once a week! I have done a lot of research and detective work on my own and documented how long it runs before the problem happens, what time I reset the disposal after cooling down, etc., and then what time the dishwasher shuts down again, due to disposal tripping the button. Any advice or help is appreciated! Who has dealt with this issue before and how was it resolved? P.S. The disposal works perfectly fine on its own and I never run the disposal when I'm trying to use the DW.Any Idea why my garbage disposal gets too hot to touch when running the dishwasher? This is in a relatively new home. We’ve only used the dishwasher a dozen times. It started to stop mid cycle and while checking things out I noticed the garbage disposal is burning hot. You cannot even touch it without burning yourself. The red reset button is tripped and cannot be pushed back in until the disposal cools off. I called the builder to inquire about this and they suggested it is a faulty disposal. So now I’m not sure if I call a plumber to install a new disposal or an electrician to check if something is wired incorrectly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
