Using your dishwasher while the garbage disposal is actively leaking is strongly discouraged because dishwasher drain hoses connect directly into the side inlet port of the disposal. Running a wash cycle will pump high volumes of wastewater through the compromised disposal body, worsening the leak, flooding your under-sink cabinet floor, potentially damaging surrounding cabinetry, and creating severe electrical safety hazards until the plumbing connection is repaired.
