Badger 1 2 Hp Garbage Disposal Leaking

Leave sink full for a while and then look for leaks.

Badger 1 2 hp garbage disposal leaking.

If you would like to help my family. My disposal is 1 3 hp and it s only about a month old. Place stoppers in sink s and fill with water. When the leak is from the top.

However when the leak is from the unit itself the best course of action is to have it replaced. Turn on the water and fill up the sink a little less than half full. The device is operated via a wall switch that activates a motorized wheel and grinds up food into small particles. Place a bag a small garbage can or a bucket underneath the sink to collect any leaking water.

Faulty seals cause many garbage disposal leaks. Take a bottle of food coloring the brighter the better and place a few drops in the sink of water. Turn on the water and garbage disposal and allow them to run while looking again for leaks. I m not sure if it s just too weak hp and need to upgrade or if mine is ok but there s another iss.

Turn the garbage disposal off completely and unplug the unit. The badger 1 is a under the sink garbage disposal manufactured by the insinkerator company. Hi guys im currently fighting cancer im going to be out of work for atleast 5 months the financial burden is immense. Remove stopper s and let the sink drain.

But it seems pretty sensitive and is leaking. This problem is quite easy to fix as you can try tightening the metal clamp with a screwdriver to see if the leak stops.
