How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the disposal before adjusting the mounting hardware.
- Support the unit:
- Place a sturdy box or support under the disposal to hold its weight.
- Tighten mounting ring:
- Rotate the mounting ring clockwise until the disposal is firmly locked to the mounting assembly.
- Check mounting screws:
- Tighten the three mounting screws that secure the upper and lower mounting rings together.
- Inspect sink flange:
- From above, ensure the sink flange is not lifting or moving.
- If it is, remove and reinstall with fresh plumber's putty.
- Verify stability:
- Gently push the disposal side to side; it should not wobble.
