Tim Alan :

Hi my name is XXX, X will try and help you with your issue.

Tim Alan :

This only started to happen after you replaced the garbage disposal is that correct?

Customer :

yes

Tim Alan :

Did you remove the knockout from the dishwasher drain port?

Tim Alan :

Sometimes people forget to do that on a new installation

Customer :

Not sure, will check, can't believe that could be it but probably is.

Tim Alan :

I am talking about the knockout that is on the disposer that the dishwasher drain hooks up to

Tim Alan :

It's actually quite common

Tim Alan :

I use a nut driver or big scre driver and a hammer to knock it out

Customer :

Thats it - what do you expect from a builder, Thanks Tim.

Tim Alan :

Hey plumbers do it to and appliance technicians we are all guilty of it

Tim Alan :

Your welcome have a great weekend

Customer :

Thanks again - wife will be happy.
