Before seeking repair or replacement, we recommend that  
you review the following:

SAFETy NOTE: 

Before investigating you must disconnect the 

power supply. Depending on the installation this can be done by 
either removing the plug from the socket or for continuous feed 
models, switching the disposer control to OFF.

LOuD NOISES

: (Other than those during grinding of bones  

and fruit pits) These are usually caused by accidental entry of a 
spoon, bottle cap or other foreign object. To correct this, remove 
*splash guard and remove object with long handled tongs.  
Replace *splash guard.

uNIT DOES NOT START:

 With *splash guard removed, check  

to see if turntable will rotate freely using a wooden utensil.  
If turntable rotates freely, replace *splash guard and check reset 
button to see if it has been tripped. Reset button is red and 
located opposite discharge elbow, near the bottom (see 8A). 
Push button in until it clicks and remains depressed.

If reset button has not been tripped, check for shorted or broken 
wire connecting to disposer. Check electrical power switch, fuse 
box or circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical components are 
intact, the unit may have internal problems that require service or 
replacement.

IF TuRNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELy:

 Check for foreign 

object lodged between the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge 
object by rotating table with a wooden utensil and remove  
object (see 8B). If no foreign object is present, there may be 
internal problems.

CONNECTION OF AIR SWITCh TO uNIT:

 To connect the air 

switch the tube should be connect to the nipple on the underside 
of the unit by pushing it on firmly.

LEAkS:

 If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:

1.   Improper seating of sink flange (gasket choice, putty  

or tightening.)

2.  Support ring not tightened properly.

3.  Defective cushion mount.

If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to improper 
tightening of elbow flange screws.

WARNING:

 Before resetting, disconnect the power supply -  

please see SAFETY NOTE above.  The overload control prevents 
the motor from operating should overloading occur.  This safety 
feature protects your house wiring and your disposer. When 
overloaded, the motor will stop automatically.

*Splash guard is not used with Batch Feed or 3-Bolt Mount units.
