No, you should avoid running your dishwasher if your garbage disposal is leaking, particularly if the leak originates from the housing seams, mounting assembly, or electrical compartment. Because most modern dishwashers discharge their waste water directly into the inlet port on the side of the garbage disposal, running a dishwasher cycle will pump wastewater straight out through the leak onto your kitchen floor or cabinet base. Verification: Inspect the disposal housing and hose connections for active water drips before starting a dishwasher load.
