Possible Causes

Uneven wear on grinding plate, Foreign object stuck on one side of chamber, Loose Franke mounting ring, Misaligned sink flange

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power before touching the unit.

  • Clear chamber: Remove any foreign objects and flush the disposer with water while running to clear residual debris.
  • Check mounting ring: From under the sink, ensure the Franke mounting ring is fully rotated and locked into place. Tighten mounting screws evenly.
  • Inspect sink flange alignment: Verify that the sink flange is seated flat against the sink. If it appears tilted, the flange may need to be reseated with new putty or gasket.
  • Evaluate wear: If vibration persists, the grinding plate may be unevenly worn. Replacement of the Franke grinding plate assembly or entire unit may be required.
