Possible Causes
Worn or torn rubber splash guard, incorrect splash guard size for Rangemaster flange, high water flow rate, overfilling chamber with waste
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the disposal before handling the splash guard.
- Inspect splash guard: Check the rubber baffle at the sink opening for tears, warping, or missing segments. Replace if damaged.
- Use correct part: Fit a Rangemaster-compatible splash guard that matches the sink flange diameter to ensure a snug fit.
- Adjust usage: Feed waste gradually and avoid forcing large volumes at once. Maintain a moderate water flow rather than fully opening the tap.
- Test: After replacement, run the disposal with water and a small amount of waste to confirm splashing is reduced.
