Diswasher venting cap on sink is overflowing some water during d/w rinse cycle???
 

The venting cap on my kitchen sink is overflowing water when my
dishwasher (GE Potscrubber) goes into the rinse cycle. I assume
there's a partial obstruction somewher in the dishwasher hose. The
garbage disposal drain unit seems to be draining okay.
Where is the most likely obstruction problem???
Thanks for your help!

It is not clear if this had worked properly or not? If you just
installed the garbage disposal or dishwasher, did you knock out the plug
in the disposal where the dishwasher hose connects??

Pull off the hose between the air gap and disposer. Chances are it's
clogged. Clean it out or replace it and you'll be in good shape.

This problem arose at my son's house. We found that the cap on the top side
of the sink could be unscrewed by hand. When that was done, we removed some
shredded corn husks from the outlet toward the drain and everything was back
to normal. Don't know if they're all built this way but you might want to
check it out.
