We have been experiencing a foul odor from our kitchen sink and dishwasher since moving into our home a few years ago. 2 days after running the dishwasher, a foul sour smell begins to form inside the dishwasher and kitchen sink drains. We constantly clean the garbage disposal and even replaced the pump assembly to the dishwasher with no solution. After some research I determined that we have no air gap installed on our sink and the dishwasher drain had no high loop, it was just attached directly to the disposal connector. I pulled as much slack as I could on the dishwasher drain and secured a loop to the disposal mount bracket with a cable tie but the smell remains.
My question: Can I re purpose the hole cut in my granite counter for a soap dispenser for use as an air gap? It's this or take the disposal out and drain the dishwasher with a higher than existing loop. Any thoughts or advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
