How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power to both disposal and dishwasher.

  • Check inlet spigot: Remove the dishwasher hose from the McAlpine spigot and clear any debris inside the spigot.
  • Inspect hose: Straighten any kinks and flush the hose with water to remove blockages.
  • Install high loop: Ensure the hose rises above the sink level before dropping to the disposal to prevent backflow.
