Everbilt Cord Entry Grommet / Housing Leak

Garbage disposal runs but water leaks from where the power cord enters the unit

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Damaged cord entry grommet, Crack in lower housing around cord clamp, Water intrusion from upper leak traveling down cord

Safety first: Unplug the disposal immediately. Water near the cord entry is a shock hazard.

Identify source: Dry the area and run water in the sink (disposal OFF). If water appears at the cord entry, the housing or grommet is compromised.
Check for upper leaks: Inspect sink flange, dishwasher inlet, and discharge elbow for leaks that may be dripping down the outside of the unit.
If leak is internal: The cord entry seal is not serviceable. Replace the Everbilt disposal.
