Disposal runs but occasionally throws water and debris up past the splash guard.

Safety first: Turn OFF the disposal before touching the splash guard.

• Adjust usage: Reduce water flow slightly and feed smaller pieces of food gradually.
• Inspect splash guard: If the rubber flaps are permanently bent upward or torn, replace the guard with a compatible American Standard or universal part.
• Seat guard fully: Ensure the guard is fully pressed into the mounting ring and not partially dislodged.
