In response to Re: Dishwasher Air Gap
Technically, it is against Code to connect the line directly to the disposal because of the risk of having dirty water run from your sink drain down into the dishwasher. I had this problem and found that the hose from the air gap to the disposal was bent sharply and kinked, blocking free water flow. Getting a longer or shorter hose can often fix this, or get a radiator hose from an auto supply that has a pre-formed bend in it. - John
