Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before opening any control enclosures.
- Step 1 – Verify fuse rating: Replace only with the same type and rating specified by Teka. Do not upsize the fuse.
- Step 2 – Inspect control wiring: Look for pinched, bare, or crossed wires between the switch, control box, and disposal.
- Step 3 – Isolate components: Disconnect the disposal from the control and see if the fuse still blows when operating the switch. This helps identify whether the fault is in the control or the motor.
- Step 4 – Replace faulty part: If the fuse blows with the motor disconnected, replace the control module. If it only blows with the motor connected, the motor is likely shorted.
