Newly installed Evergrind disposal leaks from the side where the dishwasher hose connects

Safety first: Turn OFF power to the Evergrind unit and do not run the dishwasher until the leak is fixed.

• Verify knockout removal: If the Evergrind disposal is newly installed, confirm the internal dishwasher knockout plug was fully removed from the inlet using a screwdriver and hammer, then retrieved from the grinding chamber.
• Inspect hose and clamp: Loosen the clamp, slide the dishwasher hose fully onto the Evergrind inlet nipple, and retighten the clamp securely. Replace with a new stainless clamp if corroded.
• Check for cracks: Examine the Evergrind inlet nipple for hairline cracks. If cracked, the disposer housing must be replaced.
• Test for leaks: Run the dishwasher drain cycle while observing the connection. Tighten as needed.
