I recently had a new garbage disposal installed in my single bowl kitchen sink. I also have a dishwasher that is attached to it.
1. The dishwasher water backs up into the sink 3-4 different times during a regular cycle. When I see the sink is full, I turn on the disposal and the water goes down the drain.
2. When I run water from the faucet into the sink, it goes down the drain as normal for a while, but always eventually begins to back up and fill the sink. Again, when I turn on the disposal and the water goes down the drain.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do to fix this?
I have checked for clogs in all pipes to everything under the sink
I have check for blockages on the vent pipe
I have used enzymatic drain cleans
I have used root destroyer through the toilet
I read that the rubber baffle may have a tight tolerence and can be trimmed with a razor blade. What is a rubber baffle? I have searched diagrams of disposals and have not been able to locate this. Is it called something else? Does anyone have a picture of one and/or very detailed directions on how to do this procedure?
