Disposal runs but water leaks from the side discharge connection

Safety first: Turn OFF power and do not run water until the leak is addressed.

• Tighten connection: Use a screwdriver to snug the screws or clamp securing the Evergrind discharge elbow to the disposer outlet.
• Inspect gasket: Remove the elbow and check the Evergrind discharge gasket for cracks or flattening. Replace if damaged.
• Check for cracks: Examine the Evergrind discharge outlet on the housing. If cracked, the disposer must be replaced.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall the elbow, ensuring proper alignment, then run water and check for leaks.
