I'm renting right now, and I am doubtful that my landlord will help, so I'm asking you guys for some advice.
My dishwasher keeps flooding post-wash. I'm also having drainage issues with the sink.
Water in the sink builds up, I run the disposal, the water goes down, and rushes up violently when the disposal is turned-off.
The dishwasher's under warranty still, and I've had their certified local techs come out and replace parts in the dishwasher that handle the passing of the waste water, so I'm confident the issue lies with the plumbing setup between the dishwasher and the sink.
The dishwasher's drainage tube (I don't know what it's really called) sits to the left of the sink, and it runs over to the sink's drainage tube as shown here.
For a few months in a row, I'd take the dishwasher out, and manually flush the drainage tube from it, but I got tired of doing that. Now, I have to manually vacuum the drainage hole in the dishwasher as well as the kitchen sink each time I run the dishwasher, and I just can't take it anymore.
I have no plumbing experience.
I've tried duct taping "UP" the drainage tube that runs from the dishwasher to the garbage disposal in a manner that makes the sinks drainage work a little harder to make it down to the dishwasher but whatever I've done seems to have made matters worse.
Any advice? Thanks in-advance for your time and consideration.
