Got absolutely soaked by a mystery leak on a Bosch dishwasher call

I was under the sink in a tight kitchen in Westview, tracing a drip that only happened during the drain cycle. Turns out the homeowner's kid had shoved a plastic fork down the air gap, and it was forcing water back through a tiny crack in the supply line fitting I'd never have checked first. Ever have a simple user error send you on a wild goose chase for half your morning?

Air gap clogs are the worst for that. Did the customer even mention the kid messing with it, or did you have to figure that out after pulling the whole thing apart? Those tiny cracks are impossible to see until water is spraying everywhere under pressure.

Figured it out after the kid confessed to stuffing peas in there.
