        "text": "While both can prevent proper dishwasher drainage, a drain line clog is typically an obstruction within the dishwasher's hose or the shared drain pipe. A garbage disposal issue, however, often means the disposal itself is clogged or the knockout plug, if a new disposal was installed, was not removed, preventing water from reaching the main drain. If your dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal, checking the disposal for clogs or ensuring the knockout plug is removed is a crucial first step. A plumber can quickly differentiate between these two common problems to ensure the correct repair.",
