How to unclog a dishwasher drain hose to garbage disposal

My dishwasher isn’t draining, I disconnected the drain hose from the disposal and from the pump under the dishwasher. When I blow into the disposal end it seems 100% clogged, I can’t blow at all.

Tom, your video was very well done. I appreciate that you got right to the point, thank you.

I followed the same however there was no clogging in my hose or garbage disposal on opening. Any further suggestions for me to look into? My dishwasher is Samsung and keeps draining water and then gives the 3 blinking lights.

THIS WAS A LOFE SAVER!! I just bought my first home and lo and behold the dishwasher was pooling water and I cleaned the filters and the pump no problem still there was pooling I searched for other possible issues and this showed me how to fix the problem thank you ☺️

The hose is connected high to the sink. Mine goes down to the bottom , goes through a hole to connect to behind dishwasher…?

Shop vac

use a toothbrush to clean the hose with the clamp

Thank you, this worked

Where dose the flex hose traveling up go?

Never knew garbage went through there?

What about crud further down the hose? Does it all accumulate near the disposal?

It can also be a stuck check valve

Oh, your hose connection comes off “nice and easy”…how cute. What about when it’s as tight as prom night and the it’s a rigid hose (not flexible)?

And what if the clog is further down the line? What if the clog is nearer to the dishwasher than the sink?

Make sure that the plug on your garbage disposal was popped out or you connect the hose. If you didn’t new install fence one thing you can check and then if it’s not working, you may need a new pump for the dishwasher or you may have like a piece of glass caught in the fan. Good luck thanks for watching. Happy holidays.

I put a chopstick through one of the holes at the edge of the mesh filter at the bottom of my dishwasher and it detects about 1 inch deep water there. Is it normal? Or should it be totally dry there?

Curious if that mold & gunk can get onto the dishes? Ours has mold spots in it & its become a disagreement in our house whether it does or not lol

I have that same screw driver. Wooden handle. From my grandpa

How do I drain the dishwasher that has a good amount of water in it?

Good luck on your install. Thank you for watching.

Great video

Thank you so much for this! It was exactly what I needed to fix my dishwasher drain hose.

This fix my dishwasher Thank you very much!

My Dad used to have a set of those old wooden handle screwdrivers.

Thanks so much. What my sister and I thought was a clogged diswasher and broken garbage disposal turned out to be one issue. We removed all the gunk and replaced everything nd found that the issue was the garbage disposal itself. Once we googled how to clean and reset the garbage disposal, we were good to go

Thanks 👍

My goat

Nice tip.

Using a shop-vac to suction out anything from the hose and the disposal side might be useful and get more of the crud out. Well done video too.

Excellent instruction thank you

ideally, the dishwasher drain hose should be arranged so that there is a constant downhill slope to the disposal

Thank you 🙌 Our maintenance man done came twice to fix it and it STILL stayed clogged. I did this and had it fixed it 10 minutes!
