Possible Causes

Missing or damaged splash guard, Incorrect splash guard installed, Overloading chamber too quickly, Shallow sink depth

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn OFF the disposal before handling the splash guard.

  • Step 1 – Verify splash guard presence: Ensure the rubber splash guard is installed in the sink flange. Replace it if missing or torn.
  • Step 2 – Use correct part: Install a Kraus-compatible splash guard designed for your model to ensure proper fit and back-splash control.
  • Step 3 – Adjust feeding technique: Feed food scraps gradually while running cold water, rather than dumping large quantities at once.
  • Step 4 – Check water flow: Reduce faucet flow slightly if water is forcefully bouncing off the grind chamber.
