10. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
11. TROUBLESHOOTING
Before seeking repair, we recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES
: (Other than those during grinding of small bones and fruit pits): These are usually
caused by accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign object. To correct this, turn off
electrical switch and water. After disposer has stopped, remove splash guard, remove object with long
handled tongs, and replace splash guard.
UNIT DOES NOT START:
Unplug power cord or turn either the wall switch or breaker box switch to
“OFF” position, depending on your model and wiring configuration. Remove stopper and/or splash
guard. Check to see if turntable will rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If turntable rotates
freely, replace splash guard and check reset button to see if it has been tripped. Reset button is red
and located on the front of the disposer. 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:
Turn off disposer, then check for any foreign object
lodged between the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge object by rotating table with a wooden broom
handle (see 9A) and remove object. If no foreign object is present, there may be internal problems.
LEAKS
: If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:
1. Improper seating of sink flange (gasket centering, putty or tightening).
2. Support ring not tightened properly.
3. Defective or improperly installed cushion mount.
If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to improper
tightening of elbow flange screws.
