Kraus garbage disposal runs but water leaks only when the dishwasher is draining.

Safety First: Turn OFF power to both disposal and dishwasher.

• Step 1 – Inspect dishwasher hose: Check the hose from dishwasher to disposal for cracks, loose clamps, or kinks.
• Step 2 – Verify high loop/air gap: Ensure the dishwasher drain hose has a high loop under the countertop or is connected through an air gap to prevent backflow.
• Step 3 – Clear disposal outlet: Confirm that the disposal discharge and P-trap are not clogged, which can cause dishwasher water to back up and leak at connections.
• Step 4 – Tighten or replace hose: Tighten clamps and replace any damaged hose sections. Test by running a dishwasher drain cycle.
