Possible Causes

Removed or damaged Moen splash guard, Incorrect aftermarket baffle installed, Splash guard not seated fully in sink flange, Excessive water flow or high backpressure from drain

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the disposal before adjusting any parts at the sink opening.

  • Inspect splash guard:
    • Check if the splash guard/baffle is present in the sink opening.
    • Inspect for tears, warping, or improper fit.
  • Reseat or replace:
    • Ensure the splash guard is fully seated in the Moen sink flange.
    • If damaged or missing, install a Moen-compatible replacement splash guard.
  • Adjust water flow:
    • Use moderate water flow; extremely high flow can cause splashing even with a good baffle.
