garbage disposal is broken until i have enought to fix it how do i get the water out of the dishwasher until?

Answer 1

There are 2 basic types of dishwasher controls, analog and digital. If you have an analog(mechanical timer) you can slowly turn the dial through its cycle until it pumps out (you can hear it through the drain) if your G/D is clogged and the water stands, this will do you no good in that when you turn the DW off, it will drain back into the DW unit. You can do what was already suggested, which was remove the DW discharge hose and place it into a 5 gal bucket and execute the above, or you can attempt to fix the disposal yourself which 90% of the time can be solved by one of the below.
1. Make sure there is power. There is a reset switch on the bottom of the disposal, make sure it is pushed in, switch the switch, you should hear a hum if its jammed or it will start to spin.
2. If it is jammed, make sure the wall swith is off, take an allen wrench of the appropriate size (a lot of times the installing plumber will leave it taped to the drain lines or in the undersink cabinet), and dead center on the bottom of the GD, there is a place for it, spin the blades manually until it comes free, remove the wrench and turn on the switch.
3. If it sounds llike it is still jammed or something is banging around, look down in there, find the obstruction and remove (make sure the wall switch is off). Repeat as neccessary.

In the event your DW is digital, there is typically pump out cycle at the beginning of the wash and rinse, if you have the option, run it from one of these points, otherwise you will have to run a cycle to complete the operation.

Answer 2

The dishwasher should still drain unless the Disposer is clogged up, in addition to not grinding up the waste.
You could remove the hose from the side of the disposer under the sink and couple an extension hose on the end. loop it up from under the sink and let it pump into the sink. You will of course have to cap the fitting on the disposer .

Answer 3

Unless you have removed the disposer, the dishwasher should still drain fine. If it has been removed, you will need to pipe from the sink into the drain line and add a dishwasher tee to hook up the DW drainline.

Answer 4

your dishwasher should still work just fine and drain the way it always did unless you have removed your garbage disposal....if you took the garbage disposal out just put it back in until you can afford to replace it

Answer 5

From a plumber:
The food disposal is one of the biggest pieces of crap invented. remove it and install a "dishwasher tail piece" in it's place.

Answer 6

If you have a wet/dry vac - use that to suction to water out of your dishwasher. If you don't have one - get one. They are pretty inexpensive - you can purchase one at a hardware store for under $50.
