Possible Causes
Aged or compressed internal housing gasket, Corrosion at housing seam, Over-tightening of mounting hardware stressing housing, Thermal cycling fatigue
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and place a tray under the unit.
- Confirm leak location: Dry the housing and run water without operating the disposal. Watch for seepage along the seam.
- Check external fittings: Ensure the leak is not originating from the sink flange or discharge and running down to the seam.
- Internal gasket issue: If the seam itself is the source, the internal gasket has failed and is not user-serviceable.
- Replace disposal: Remove the Reginox unit and install a new one to restore a watertight seal.
