Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.I would start where your drain line connects to the house drain,This is where most blocked drains happen. Disconnect the drain line and put it in a bucket and try to drain the dishwasher. Chances are its blocked somewhere you just have to find it.
Thank You and please ACCEPT my answer and Rate my answer if it was helpful..

hello fowl..... you have a blockage in the garbage disposal. you can use a chemical drain cleaner and pour it into the sink where the disposal is located. you should also look into that drain with a flashlight to make sure that there is not a fork or some other object causing the blockage. If you do not choose to use the chemical, you can also disconnect the disposal using the wrench that should be under the sink where the disposal is located. if you choose this method, have a pail handy to catch the water. also unplug the disposal before you work on it.

Have you tried baking soda? Works wonders.

Try Googling (maximatic)(4000)(manual) without parens.

plunger always works for me when it is stuck while on

Your motor is damaged and is not worth repairing on a garbage disposal. Recommend you get online and look for a good waste king disposal. They have the best warranties, incredible prices, lifetime corrosion warranty, have 1000 rpm's faster than the other brands so the food is liquified for the septic systems, and I have never seen one that was jammed in 36 yrs. of service! Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

The front weight hangs from the cabinet above the microwave, the rear weight needs support also. It is intended to be fastened to two studs. If the granite does not go all the way up to the cabinet above, install a wood spacer, the same thickness as the granite, then extend the wall plate, at the corners, with some flat stock aluminum strips, available at most hardware stores. Fasten the aluminum strips to to wall plate with short machine screws. - If the granite goes up to the cabinet bottom, shim out the bottom frame of the cabinet to the face of the granite and use the same aluminum flat stock to extend the wall plate up to the necessary location.

if micro. new then its defective
if micro. old then you need replacement or service the heating element and turn table motor
