How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Support the disposal from below and turn off power before adjusting the mounting.
- Inspect mounting ring: Check the Whirlpool mounting ring and ears for cracks or stripped areas. Replace the mounting assembly if damaged.
- Verify sink flange: Ensure the flange is tight and properly sealed to the sink.
- Rehang disposal: Lift the disposal into place, align the mounting tabs, and rotate the ring until it locks. Tighten the three mounting screws evenly.
- Test stability: Gently push the disposal to confirm it is secure and does not move.
