How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air switch module and disposal before handling.

  • Inspect air tube:
    • Ensure the air tube is firmly connected to both the countertop button and the power module.
    • Check for kinks or water inside the tube; replace if contaminated.
  • Bypass test:
    • Temporarily plug the Moen disposal directly into a standard switched outlet (bypassing the air switch) to confirm the disposal itself works.
  • Replace module:
    • If the disposal runs when bypassed, replace the Moen air switch module.
