Every time I turn the washer on the water comes out of the little metal drain in the kitchen sink and spills all over the counter. It never did this before. How do I fix this?
Two things to consider....clean water or
dirty water?
Clean water usually indicates the fill valve
is not shutting off all the way and the fill valve is "weeping" water
in all the time = new fill valve time!!
Dirty water usually is not a dishwasher
problem but more of a plumbing issue. Often the sink drain that carries the
sinks water outside is not fast enough and some of this sink water is backing
up into the drain hose and filling up the dishwasher through the drain hose.
The drain from the sink to outside needs attention as this type of a problem
indicates a slow house drain for that sink.
The dishwasher drain line should be clamped to the top underneath part of the counter before entering the sink drain plumbing, this may help the water from coming back inside the dishwasher.

Is the airgap vent the little plastic thing on the edge with the metal cap on it? If so yes that is where the water is coming from. Do I just remove that hose and flush it out or would I need a new one? It is only 3 years old.
