Possible Causes

Removed or torn rubber splash guard, Incorrect sink flange size, High water flow combined with open throat design, Worn rubber losing stiffness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the disposal before touching the sink opening.

  • Step 1 – Inspect splash guard: Check if the rubber splash guard is present and seated properly in the sink flange. Look for tears or deformation.
  • Step 2 – Clean guard: Remove and clean the guard to restore flexibility. Built-up grease can prevent the flaps from closing properly.
  • Step 3 – Replace if damaged: Install a Teka-compatible replacement splash guard matched to your sink flange diameter.
  • Step 4 – Adjust water flow: Reduce tap flow slightly during operation to minimize upward spray.
