Possible Causes

Drain hose installed without high loop or air gap, Sink or disposal backflow, Incorrect connection height, Partially blocked sink drain

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting plumbing.

  • Inspect hose routing: Ensure the Midea drain hose rises to the underside of the countertop (high loop) or connects to an air gap before going to the sink drain.
  • Raise connection: If the hose connects low on the drain, move it higher to prevent backflow.
  • Check sink drain: Clear any partial blockages that could cause water to back up into the dishwasher.
