Garbage disposal leaks from the side or bottom of the unit body.

Safety first: Disconnect power and avoid using the disposal until the leak source is identified. Water near electrics is hazardous.

• Identify leak point: Dry the exterior of the unit. Run water into the sink (without operating the disposal) and observe with a torch where water emerges: from the side seam, bottom, or outlet connection.
• Check outlet gasket: If the leak is at the discharge elbow, tighten the clamp or screws and replace the rubber outlet gasket if perished.
• Internal leaks: If water seeps from the body seam or bottom, the internal chamber or shaft seal has failed. These components are not serviceable on most Rangemaster disposals.
• Do not attempt to open sealed housing: Opening the motor/chamber housing can expose live components and void safety approvals. The safe remedy is replacement of the disposal.
