Why does water from my sink go into my dishwasher?
Sink water usually drains into dishwashers when there’s a clog in the pipes or some installation error. To fix this issue, find out where the clog or blockage is, whether it’s the sink line, dishwasher drain hose, air gap, or the garbage disposal. Clear the clog with either manual cleaning or an anti-clogging solution.
Why does my dishwasher keep filling with water when not in use?
Answer: The most common reason a dishwasher has water coming into it when off is: The dishwasher drain hose is laying flat under the kitchen sink and therefore letting the drain water back into the dishwasher. This is to not allow the water from the sink to get into the dishwasher. This valve may be faulty.
