Dishwasher water comes out of air vent on sink top.

All you need is a bottle brush and some household disinfecting cleaner. If water squirts out the air gap s vent holes or you notice a foul smell coming from it it s time to clean it. Yank the cover off the air gap and remove the snap in or screw on diverter. When the dishwasher is running it s possible for water to flow out of the air gap and onto the countertop.

If the hose develops a blockage closer to the sink s waste line than the y fitting then the water will search for the path of least resistance and follow it. In a properly functioning air gap the dishwasher hose attaches to an input on the air gap and the water is expelled out the end. The leak is caused by water backing up from the drain into the air gap. If the water is flowing out of your air vent then you have a complicated problem which may require a number of different methods to fix it.
