Step 5 · Restore Power and Test for Leaks

With the connection made, it's time to test your work. Remove all tools and the bucket from the cabinet. Return to the electrical panel and restore power to the dishwasher and garbage disposal by flipping the breakers back to the 'ON' position. Close the dishwasher door and select a 'Rinse Only' or 'Drain' cycle to run. As the dishwasher begins to pump out water, use a flashlight to carefully inspect the hose connection at the garbage disposal for any drips or leaks. Once the cycle is complete, run some cold water into the sink and turn on the garbage disposal for a few seconds to ensure its normal operation and that the vibrations do not cause a leak.
