Garbage disposal leaks from the bottom of the unit, dripping onto the cabinet floor even when not running.

Safety warning: Turn off power at the breaker and unplug the disposal if possible. Water and electricity together are hazardous.

• Step 1 – Confirm leak origin: Dry the exterior of the disposal. Run water into the sink without operating the unit and observe for drips from the bottom or seams of the housing.
• Step 2 – Check external connections: Ensure the discharge elbow and dishwasher inlet are not the source. Tighten those connections if needed.
• Step 3 – Identify internal leak: If water emerges from the motor housing or bottom center, the internal seals or chamber are compromised.
• Step 4 – Do not attempt internal disassembly: Frigidaire disposals are factory-sealed; internal seal replacement is not a standard service procedure.
• Step 5 – Replace the disposal: Remove the old unit following installation instructions and install a new Frigidaire disposal, ensuring all seals and connections are tight.
