Re: [MBZ] Yet even more dishwasher talk

More on this drain hose routing. It appears it should have a high loop to prevent back draining I guess, so that's fine. What is a concern now to me is the way it is plumbed into the drain pipe. They have it connected to the pipe after the trap, not before it on the sink side. We do not have a

Re: [MBZ] Yet even more dishwasher talk

We have not had a problem with the sink backing up. From what I read having it connected below the trap leaves the possibility of gases coming into the dish washer but with the loop on the side of the washer and the high loop if I am not mistaken that would sort of act like a trap itself

Re: [MBZ] Yet even more dishwasher talk

Yes, I just discovered that it was correct running up high and over. My new concept is it being connected to the drain pipe below the trap, not above it. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 6, 2016, at 8:34 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > It runs up and over for a

Re: [MBZ] Yet even more dishwasher talk

It runs up and over for a reason. That creates a siphon so that when the DW drains all of the water will be pulled out of the line and into the garbage disposal/drain. Do NOT run it straight through! Dan Sent from my iPad > On Apr 6, 2016, at 9:25 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes >

Re: [MBZ] Yet even more dishwasher talk

Possible. One think I do notice is the drain line comes out of the dishwasher loops up and back down by design on the side of it by design. From there it's ran back up over the counter into the under sink counter to drain. It runs over the top of the divide between the 2. I wonder if this could

Re: [MBZ] Yet even more dishwasher talk

Sorry about the Drano suggestion, might be too harsh. Mine has no stainless inside, all heavy plastic or coated plastic, or some such material. Is there any way to put extra water pressure into the pump to help flush it out? And also put some extra flush pressure on you drain lines? The drain
