Disposal will not start unless the sink-top air switch button is pressed very hard or multiple times.

Safety first: Turn OFF power before working under the sink or on the air switch module.

• Step 1 – Inspect air tube: Check the clear or opaque tube from the sink button to the air switch module for kinks, cracks, or disconnections. Re-seat or replace as needed.
• Step 2 – Test button action: Press the sink button and feel for a firm click. If it feels mushy or sticks, clean around the button and consider replacing the button assembly.
• Step 3 – Listen for relay click: While pressing the button, listen at the air switch module for a click. If no click, the module may be faulty.
• Step 4 – Replace air switch kit: Teka-compatible air switch kits include a new button, tube, and module. Install according to instructions, ensuring secure connections.
