If the dishwasher is hooked into a garburetor, there is a plug in the garburetor where the hose drain attaches that needs to be knocked out. The drain hose might be plugged where it joins to the Plumbing drainage. The other problem, plumbing-wise, is the drain hose has to be fed as high as it can go under the sink and back down into the drain.

Can you run the dishwasher if the garbage disposal is not connected?

The disposal has to be in place so that the drain on the dishwasher is connected. If you do not have a disposal or are removing it, there is a extension tube for the drain that has the dishwasher tube in it. The disposal does not have to work for the dishwasher to drain. The water is run through the disposal so that any food particles get ground before going in the drain. After a while, the disposal will begin to smell if it is not run.

What does the plumbing look like for a double sink no garbage disposal and a dishwasher?

Most common is a center drain, but it can be at either side depending on where the drain goes into the wall. On the side closest to the dishwasher, the tail piece directly under the sink has a smaller tube in the side of it for the dishwasher drain.


How do you connect dishwasher to double bowl sink?

If you don't have a disposal, you can get a Tail piece, the section of drain right below the bottom of the sink that has a Y on it that is the size of the drain from the dishwasher.


Why does the water from the disposal side of the double sink drain into the dishwasher?

Probably the drain hose from the dishwasher isn't high enough to keep the water from running back . The hose should be above the level of the disposal at some point. Some states require an "air gap" which is a device that is placed in the drain line to prevent this. Some states require a simple high loop in the drain hose. Many dishwasher manufacturers are now installing backflow preventers in the dishwasher.


Where does the drain on a dishwasher go?

Garbage disposal, if one is installed, or a wye branch fitting on the tail piece of sink drain. Dishwasher drain line should have an air break or air gap before the disposal or wye branch fitting.

The height of the drain really doesn't matter as long as the hose from the dishwasher has a section that is at least half as high as the dishwasher.
