Possible Causes

Removed or worn Everbilt splash guard, Incorrect baffle size, High water flow combined with open throat design, Overloading chamber

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the disposal before touching the sink opening.

  • Inspect splash guard: Check if the rubber splash guard/baffle is installed in the sink flange. If it is torn, stiff, or missing, replace it with a compatible Everbilt splash guard.
  • Install correctly: Press the new baffle firmly into the sink flange until it seats evenly all around.
  • Adjust usage: Reduce water flow slightly and feed food waste gradually to minimize splash.
  • Do not operate without baffle: Running the disposal without a splash guard increases risk of injury and mess.
