Drains when hose is disconnected from disposer into bucket. When using Disposer side of sink, that drain water enters the dishwasher. Already replaced the water level switch. Can't find the part needed.
Look at drain lines under sink, if you have PVC put a bucket or large plastic pan under and remove all the drain lines and inspect them. Look at air gap or ensure drain line highest point is just under the bottom of counter top,. look at pump in dw to ensure is is working.

the obstruction they talk about in the disposer, its where the connection for the d/w drain is made, there is a "knockout" plug within the drain line connector( in case you dont have a d/w) that would need to be removed before the d/w will drain. can be popped out with a good smack with a screw driver, the plastic knockout will land within the disposer. disconnect power and remove the plug, it will not break up and wash away

You are going to have to get a little crafty for this repair. The disposer had a knockout piece that the dishwasher attached to. Now you need to cover that opening. You will need to take a piece of cpvc and a dishwasher boot. You should be able to get these items from most hardware stores.You might get lucky and find a dishwasher boot that is soild on one end. Cut a short piece of the cpve pipe and glue a cap on one end. Then place it in one end of the dishwasher boot, take a hose clamp to seal that end. Place the other end over the opening on the disposer and hose clamp to seal.
You also could try to find a rudder stopper to fit in the opening of the disposer then duct tape it in place.

If there is any blockage in your diposal, water will comes up to the sink, since it happened to me. As soon I installed the air gap then it fixed the problem. No air gap, water flowing is slowing down conflicting with timed draining causing this problem. Let's think of this, if you fill up water in a 1/2 galon milk container, and you try to emty it. If you pull down straightly , it will be slow compared to pull it at an agle to let air going into the opening. The air vent helps water flow better meeting the timed draining.

think you've already figured it out! clog could be in dw hose where it enters gd. check for kinks in hose. perhaps replace hose, if it looks funky! try running a sterilize cycle- the hot water may unclog the hose (if your machine has the option).
good luck!
Your dishwasher drains into the garbage disposal. It you tried to use a plunger to clear your clogged sink or run the disposal with to much junk in it you may have force debris into the dishwasher drain hose. With both the dishwasher and garbage disposal disconnect from power disconnect the dishwasher drain hose from the garbage disposal. This is usually about a one inch black hose. Clear out any debris in the hose and inlet nipple on the garbage disposal. If debris is compacted far down the hose it will need to be disconnected from the dishwasher end and remove to clear the blockage.
Good luck!
