Hi - First time poster, hope you can help.
My dishwasher has been in place for about two years and has not had a problem until a few days ago, when I found the dishes in the cupboard full of water.
I emptied the cupboard and turned the dishwasher on, expecting a leak in the hose or the drain pipe. But no - water was gushing out of the grey polypipe and shooting up past the inserted hose.
I checked the u-bend and it's clear. I put a drain snake down and got about 4m in, all ok.
If I take the U-bend off (all the white stuff in the image) and put the dishwasher drain in the end of the grey pipe, it all works fine.
As soon as I put the u-bend back on, water gushes up again. It's like the pump is pumping too hard and the water hits the u-bend too fast and shoots back up.
The pipe is definitely clear as I have poured water in and it never backs up. Not sure what to do now. Thanks for any help.
