#Realize that when water does not run through your drain, it is because there is a bunch of junk and trash clogged up in one of the pipes. The clog could be anywhere in the drain pipes, not just limited to your kitchen.  Although rare, it can even be in the vent pipe leading to the roof; such blockages usually cause slowly draining pipes rather than completely blocked pipes (just like slowly flowing gasoline from a gas can when the vent is closed).
