Fix a dishwasher not draining, after replacing sink disposal. Punch out the drain plug.

If your dishwasher is suddenly not draining water, and you just replaced your sink disposal,  you may have forgotten to remove the drain plug. It’s easy to forget.  I have seen multiple, very experienced handymen, forget to do this. The first time it happened, I thought my dishwasher broke, threw it away, & bought a brand new dishwasher.  and it’s still late. That’s when I realized it was not draining. I was quite upset because that dishwasher was one of those old ones from the 70s that will never ever die. So I felt badly that I had gotten rid of it because it probably would’ve lasted another 20 years. I can still see the trash truck, lifting it up with the robotic claw & dropping it into the bin.

Anyway, so when I had this problem a second time, I knew immediately why it happened. And I took a video this time to show other people how to fix it, so they don’t make the same mistake I did, of getting rid of the dishwasher when it’s just a small plug that needs to be punched out.
