Badger 1 3 Hp Garbage Disposal Leaking From Bottom

Hi guys im currently fighting cancer im going to be out of work for atleast 5 months the financial burden is immense.

Badger 1 3 hp garbage disposal leaking from bottom.

Remove stopper s and let the sink drain. However when the leak is from the unit itself the best course of action is to have it replaced. Turn on the water and garbage disposal and allow them to run while looking again for leaks. Take a bottle of food coloring the brighter the better and place a few drops in the sink of water.

When the leak is from the top. Place a bag a small garbage can or a bucket underneath the sink to collect any leaking water. Pull the waste tube off of the device. Locate the waste tube on the bottom of the badger 1 and use a screwdriver to remove the two screws in the face plate.

Place stoppers in sink s and fill with water. If you would like to help my family. Turn on the water and fill up the sink a little less than half full. Step 5 grasp the sides of the badger 1 with both hands and turn it counterclockwise using firm pressure to unscrew it from the top mounting brackets.

This problem is quite easy to fix as you can try tightening the metal clamp with a screwdriver to see if the leak stops. You can also try tightening the screws on the main line or replacing the rubber gasket.
