  1. Solution #1) Run out and get some liquid drain cleaner.

    Solution #2) Remove the trap and clean it

    Solution #3) Call a plumber

    1 & 2 are relatively inexpensive, but #3 can be costly.


  2. you need to remove the trap the clog is probably there.

  3. If it's backing up in the dishwasher the clog is below the dishwasher drain not in the sink.

  4. take apart the pipes under sink . the clog is somewhere in there.

  5. At this point, it sounds like all of the liquid, chemical openers wont work. If you are unable to remove the trap etc from under the sink, try this remedy. It has worked several times for me. Go to your local home center and by a piece of plastic tubing, similar to what a hospital uses for oxygen. You will need roughly 4-5 feet. Run the tubing into the drain pushing down and pulling up. The tubing is small enough to run through the clog yet it is not rigid enough to damage or poke through the pipes. If that doesnt work, you may need to call a plumber.  

  6. try plunging the sink. then run a rince cycle through dishwasher and see if this helps good luck  

  7. Put a bucket under the p-trap.Grab with both hands and unscrew p-trap.Clean it out and re install.This will do the trick.Good luck.
