Astracast disposal is leaking from the dishwasher inlet hose connection on the side of the unit.

Safety First: Turn OFF power to the disposal and dishwasher. Do not run either appliance while leaks are present.

• Step 1 – Tighten clamp: Use a screwdriver to tighten the dishwasher hose clamp at the Astracast inlet spigot.
• Step 2 – Inspect hose and spigot: Check for cracks in the plastic spigot or splits in the hose. Replace damaged components.
• Step 3 – Check gasket: If your model uses a rubber gasket at the inlet, ensure it is present and not deteriorated. Replace if necessary.
• Step 4 – Verify knockout plug removal: On new installations, confirm the internal knockout plug was fully removed from the Astracast dishwasher inlet. Remove any remaining plastic pieces that could prevent sealing.
• Step 5 – Test for leaks: Run the dishwasher through a short cycle and observe the connection for drips.

Warning: Water near electrical connections is hazardous; correct leaks promptly.
